This is definitely one of the coolest applications for computer vision. The flying robot is receiving control information from a computer vision system that watches the court and tracks the tennis ball. Stick with the video long enough to see two of these robots keeping a volley going between each other. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2383177,00.asp
Join the discussion and tell us whether you believe this is an embedded vision system. NEXCOM serves security markets with networked video recorders, and the newer devices include the intelligence for video analytics. However, these devices use centralized, rack-mounted hardware that resembles a PC Server. http://embeddedinnovator.com/2011/03/analog-surveillance-with-hd-and-analytic/
