See The Future of IoT: Planning For Success With Smart Vision


Computer vision devices that can ‘see’ and act on visual information are bringing new efficiencies and functionalities to IoT. But with new opportunities come complexities. The specific features and functionality of smart vision use cases vary widely. Creating a system that catches defects on an assembly line requires different imaging, machine learning, and workloads compared to one ... » read more

AI Feeds Vision Processor, Image Sensor Boom


Vision systems are rapidly becoming ubiquitous, driven by big improvements in image sensors as well as new types of sensors. While the sensor itself often is developed using mature-node silicon, increasingly it is connected to vision processors developed at the most advanced process nodes. That allows for the highest performance per watt, and it also allows designs to incorporate AI accelera... » read more

How Power, Lighting, And EVS Improve Rotorcraft Safety And Performance


With rotorcraft serving rugged duty across a wide spectrum of mission-critical industries including firefighting, police work, emergency medical services (EMS), oil and gas transport, and search and rescue (SAR), integrating new technologies optimizes the safety and operational performance of the vehicle. Whether line-fit or retrofit, rotorcraft that operate in rugged, degraded environments dep... » read more

System Bits: July 5


Computer vision for automated data collection Stanford University researchers have developed a computer vision system that automates the collection of data about the elements in buildings in order to streamline the remodeling or refurbishment of existing buildings, which can be fraught with delays and cost overruns due to hidden problems. Renovation projects live and die by the quality of i... » read more
