Embedded Vision Insights: October 29, 2013 Edition

Dear Colleague,

Last time, regarding the recent Embedded Vision Summit East, I wrote, "We're busy editing the videos of the various presentations and demonstrations, which will begin appearing on the website shortly." I hope you'll be pleased with what we've accomplished so far in following through on that promise. Visit the "videos" resource page on the Alliance website, and you'll find the outstanding keynote presented by Mario Munich, Vice President of Advanced Development at iRobot. You'll also be able to view the sequence of presentations delivered by DARPA and two of its contractors, Next Century Corporation and SRI International, discussing two general-purpose vision algorithm selection and development tools that the organization and its contractors will soon make widely available on an open source basis as an adjunct of the OpenCV library. And you'll find a tutorial on feature detection and tracking from Marco Jacobs, Technical Marketing Director at videantis.

Additional content from the Embedded Vision Summit East is queuing up for publication in the coming days. But for now, there's plenty of other new material to satiate your embedded vision appetite. Make sure, for example, to audition the augmented reality keynote from Ori Inbar, founder and CEO of AugmentedReality.org, delivered at the October 2013 Embedded Vision Alliance Member Meeting. Check out, too, the contributed article on vision-enhanced manufacturing robotics in Control Engineering Magazine from Alliance member company National Instruments. And of course there's the usual assortment of new market analysis reports, news writeups, press releases, and other materials.

I hope that the steadily increasing content on the Alliance website is helpful in keeping you current on embedded vision technology and product developments. Thanks as always for your support of the Embedded Vision Alliance, and for your interest in and contributions to embedded vision technologies, products and applications. Whenever you come up with an idea as to how the Alliance can better service your needs, you know where to find me.

Next Generation: Robots That See
Every year, robots become more integrated into our everyday lives and less like the characters in science fiction movies. The field of robotics is advancing in the manufacturing and consumer industries, but one of the main obstacles stalling significant growth in this space is that most robots are “blind” or unable to perceive the world around them. The integration of vision technology with today’s software tools makes it possible for robots to see and react to their changing environment. This presents an opportunity to enter into a wide range of new vision and robotics applications. More

Video Surveillance to Take Inspiration from Mobile Phone Industry
Much like the mobile phone industry, the video surveillance industry is turning toward a recurring monthly revenue model that includes the cost of hardware in a monthly service fee, according to a new report from IHS Inc., a leading global source of critical information and insight. The world market for video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) is expected to see average annual growth of 17 percent from 2012 to 2017, reaching nearly $1.3 billion by 2017. Growth in specific segments of the market, such as the residential and small-medium business (SMB) sectors, is expected to drive a change in the typical buying model. More
