Comment on Blogging about machine vision – interested?

2011-03-17T15:34:39.081Z

Interesting point on rattling the corporate feathers... it does require letting go. Microscan's blog is not controlled information and that is one of its best elements. We want Microscan employees to feel empowered to share from their own experiences and expertise directly, and this has resulted in some really good technical discussions on topics such as OCR/ OCV, Verficiation, and GigE machine vision.

At Tordivel we "discovered" blogging last autumn. We try to be open and post whatever is interesting to machine vision users and in particular the Scorpion Vision user. The heart of these blogs are the http://tordivelblog.wordpress.com. We are committed to continue blogging because we believe it is an important media. The blogs is the most updated information about Tordivel and Scorpion Vision.

Comment on June issue: vision-guided robots, software, and Three Mile Island

2011-03-17T15:34:42.326Z

Your summary of the Three Mile Island clean-up was fascinating. And your editorial about the role Machine Vision is playing in "daring to go where no man" can -- i.e. "Hurt Locker" to radioactive sites to the depths of the ocean -- was quite timely.

Comment on The Vision Show revealed--on video

2011-03-17T15:34:44.058Z

This was the first time Boulder Imaging exhibited our machine vision solutions at The Vision Show . We were very impressed by the number of serious individuals seeking specific solutions to their challenges. Everyone is looking for ways to improve their products, become more efficient, and competitive. Overall, we were impressed and see this as a growing trend and look forward to more shows in the future.

Comment on Don Braggins remembered

Sad news indeed. A constant figure in the machine vision business, we will miss him. Best wishes to Anne and their children and grandchildren - they can all feel very proud of Don's achievements and the fact he will be well remembered in the industry. And thanks to Conard for the above summary. Colin Pearce, CEO, Active Silicon.

If this stuff excites you... Try doing a search on youtube for "electronic harassment", "targeted individual" and the like. Or go check out these interesting facts http://www.mindjustice.org/2003_survey.htm Whats been possible since the 70's with regards to this: http://geeldon.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/hearing-voices-such-things-are-known/ And the simplest way to match your brainwaves to what you think, via signals sent to your vocal cords, also in use since the 70's by your friendly local secret police http://www.harold-holt.net/Page02.htm Also, if you care too, please sign a partition about how much you like this cool technology for the US Govt.

Comment on Sent to Coventry

I am happy about the praise about the Scorpion Vision ease of use and power :) - but I protest wildly about the claim that the software is expensive - it is a bargain! With the new Scorpion Vision 9.0 it starts to deliver at 100 euro with the new invention Scorpion Mono Stinger and Scorpion Vision Apps - in the new pricelist for Scorpion SmartCam the prices is reduced by more than 30%. At last but not the least it can be used with free OpenCV library. All in all the best value!

Comment on From dissertation to product release

I think this technology is a game-changer...but the first issue that irritates me is the shape of the photo image..it looks like the old Standard Def 4X3 size ..instead of the 16X9 or even the conventional 35mm still image shape...why not use the more aesthetic shape of 16X9 etc.????

of course when you see a hummingbird outside your window in an area where you have never before seen a hummingbird, wave. http://www.8by11.com

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I will remain "the woman with no tan"! I will tell my colleagues to check on Dave's tan situation while they're there :)

Exactly what we're working on at Foodtree; food transparency and letting consumers see who's responsible for the food they buy. We're focused on whole foods, lightly processed foods, and beverages first, aiming to empower great food producers who want a cheap and easy way to take advantage of location aware mobile phone, social media platforms, and QR codes all in one ready-made solution. Would love your feedback! http://www.foodtree.com Derek, founder of Foodtree

Raspberry Pi has revolutionary potential. It would be nice to combine it with OpenCV for scene processing

Comment on A distinct lack of communication

2012-04-04T20:04:16.181Z

I'm not sure the point here. In an ideal sense, of course all information should be open. This discussion is no different than for any other industry though. Intel certainly isn't out publishing and teaching how to duplicate their results when they get 20% more junctions in the same sized CPU die and with less power. Just for the advancement of all CCD technology, Kodak certainly doesn't make its art public when they achieve better performance in a 5.5 uM pixel than they could previously in a larger 7.4 uM pixel. This is no different for machine vision builders or system integrators. Knowledge is hard fought and expensive to gain. Experience is invaluable. Achieving a system result which has maesurable performance advantage is the pinnacle of their art. Why would they publish and offer this for free? Other than publicly funded reasearch in national labs, NASA, DARPA or similar, there is no "free communication" at this level in other industries. The lesson here is simple. It is leaders and innovators who further the technology fronts and achieve the top performance. It's not follwers who duplicate. Duplication of systems and techniques expands the vision frontier, but doesn't advance the frontier. Advancement comes at a higher cost. The individuals you have on your team make the difference, not articles on paper. Companies need to value experienced and knowledgable workers for the difference they can make directly to the end result.

The day of the anti-captcha has arrived ... If entered correctly it means that a computer was involved since no human could ever read the darned things anymore ... So the test is passed only if a certain level of error was found in the users input :-).
