In the March 2019 snapshots, a team of academic researchers pioneer a mine detection system that could save thousands of lives every year, embedded vision systems provide complex holographic labels for document security, AI software helps Heathrow Airport air traffic control adapt to cloudy weather, and the AIA presents an Automation Market Update that signals a short-term, glacial pace for the vision industry.

Embedded vision enables truly smart cities

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.

Is deep learning the solution to all computer vision problems?

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,
