Longtime computer vision expert Dr. Takeo Kanade, U.A. and Helen Whitaker Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, presented the 'Think Like an Amateur, Do As an Expert: Lessons from a Career in Computer Vision,” at the 2018 Embedded Vision Summit.
On a recent vacation, I was struck by how indispensable smartphones have become for travelers. GPS-powered maps enable us to navigate unfamiliar cities. Language translation apps help us make sense of unfamiliar languages. Looking for a train, taxi, museum, restaurant, shop or park? A few taps of the screen and you’ve found it.
In this week’s roundup from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) which highlights some of the latest news and headlines in unmanned vehicles and robotics, drone deliveries in Reno, Nevada, robotic agricultural data-gathering, and Fox Sports deploys UAS for event coverage.
Robotics, machine vision, AI, and motion control, among other technologies, will set the agenda for the biennial Automate conference taking place April 8-11 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, along with material handling and supply chain solutions show, ProMat. The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) expects 20,000 attendees at Automate 2019, with over 500 exhibitors filling a 160,000 square foot show space.
SUALAB will show the latest iteration of its SuaKIT deep learning software library for machine vision applications at Automate 2019. Version 2.1 updates the software to include continual learning (a method of training a deep learning model by utilizing pre-trained models), multi-image analysis (a training method that enables users to train more than three images as a pair), and uncertainty data analysis (a tool that suggests users uncertainty score of data to classify vague data sets.)
The Robot Controlled Cockpit Electronics Testing, or RoCCET test procedure, uses a fully-automated, custom-designed robot to check the functionality of cockpit LED lights and switches.
The Russian mining industry management system developer VIST Group, a subsidiary of industrial digital technology corporation Zyfra, has teamed-up with Russian truck and engine manufacturer KAMAZ and Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan to launch an autonomous truck initiative. The hope is to develop an autonomous KAMAZ truck fleet for long-distance transportation.
There’s no question that deep neural networks (DNNs) have transformed the field of computer vision. DNNs are delivering superior results on recognizing objects, localizing objects within a frame, and determining which pixels belong to which object. Even problems like optical flow and stereo correspondence, which had been solved quite well with conventional techniques, are now finding better solutions using deep learning techniques. And the success of deep learning goes well beyond computer vision,
In this week’s roundup from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) which highlights some of the latest news and headlines in unmanned vehicles and robotics, a quadcopter helps end a 12-hour hostage situation, DJI provides improved reliability, safety, and security to drone operators, and three engineering students construct a proof-of-concept firefighting drone.
LiDAR technology is a central feature in many autonomous vehicles' vision systems. LiDAR has difficulty dealing with fog and dust. Autonomous vehicles that can't account for poor driving conditions require the intervention of human drivers. Researchers at MIT have made a leap toward solving this challenge.
Bruce Tannenbaum, Product Marketing Manager of Artificial Intelligence, MathWorks, looks at some of the major artificial intelligence trends and predictions for 2019.
This image gallery outlines 10 recent examples of machine vision and imaging technology used beyond the factory floor, ranging from a 3D vision-guided robot used to pick peppers to a deep-sea imaging system used to monitor for pollution and coral health.
In this week’s/today's roundup from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) which highlights some of the latest news and headlines in unmanned vehicles and robotics, a UAS takes off and lands from a moving vehicle, England lays plans to establish a UAS testing corridor, and Logos Technologies scores a win in the UAS sector.
Through our partnership with the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), Vision Systems Design is able every week to share news about some of the most interesting unmanned land, sea, and air vehicles, from early concept tests to fully-operational deployments. In 2018, AUVSI shared news about dozens of drones in use across the globe serving in a variety of environments and industries.
In today's roundup from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) which highlights some of the latest news and headlines in unmanned vehicles and robotics, the Office of Naval Research (ONR)'s Sea Hunter unmanned surface vehicle (USV) successfully navigates from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, a county in Florida uses an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to keep up with its rapid pace of growth, and iRobot unveils a robotic lawnmower.
