Mark Kulaczewski, VP of System Integration and Co-Founder at videantis, presents the "Software Approach for Easing Embedded Acceleration of OpenCV Applications" tutorial within the "Developing Vision Software, Accelerators and Systems" technical session at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit.

Jeff Bier, founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance and co-founder and President of BDTI, presents the "What Can You Do With Embedded Vision?" overview presentation at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit. This presentation is intended for those new to embedded vision, and those seeking ideas for new embedded vision applications and technologies.

Markus Wloka, R&D Director for System-Level Solutions at Synopsys, presents the "Lessons Learned: FPGA Prototyping of a Processor-Based Embedded Vision Application" tutorial within the "Developing Vision Software, Accelerators and Systems" technical session at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit. This presentation covers the steps of building a programmable vision system and highlights the importance of having software-driven tests and using a chain of proven tools and components.

Chris Rowan, Chief Technology Officer at Tensilica, presents the "Porting Applications to High-Performance Imaging DSPs" tutorial within the "Developing Vision Software, Accelerators and Systems" technical session at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit. Rowen discusses the challenges of porting and tuning applications to a high-performance imaging DSP.  An imaging-specific DSP can make a huge difference in the performance of computationally intensive algorithms. But you can’t expect to just quickly port those algorithms –you need to tune them.
