Beyond stream processing??? A distributed vision architecture for the Internet of Things
(IEEE, 2016)
An ‘edge-based’ image processing architecture for
the internet of things (IoT) is devised, drawing on the existing
image processing pipelines that are implemented in today’s
imaging modules in digital cameras and ...
A crash course on patents for engineers
(2013)
Most engineers are aware of the existence of patents. Indeed the preparation of patent disclosures is an important aspect of most research engineering job functions. Yet for many engineers the world of patents remains ...
Detection and repair of flash-eye in handheld devices
(IEEE, 2014)
Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ...
Wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices
(2014)
The concepts of wide field of view (WFoV) imaging for consumer devices are explained. Some current examples and enabling technologies are provided. The need for real-time distortion correction is outlined. Several new ...
An FPGA-based stereoscopic camera - electronic design tools and techniques
(IEEE, 2010-08-05)
Electronic design tools and techniques for the implementation of a stereoscopic camera based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are presented. The stages of an IPP (Image Processing Pipeline) are presented together ...
Real-Time Fingerprint Analysis & Authentication for Embedded Appliances
(IEEE, 2007-04-10)
A complete fingerprint analysis system is described. The design and architecture of a loadable device driver for a USB fingerprint sensor is described. Image processing filters to enhance the raw image data and to extract ...
Next Generation Face Tracking Technology Using AAM Techniques
(IEEE, 2007)
This paper realizes an investigation of the active appearance model (AAM) techniques, with particular emphasis on problems related to the implementation of AAM in realtime face tracking applications for embedded systems. ...
Enabling Legacy PTP Cameras and Printers as Networked PTP/IP Appliances
(IEEE, 2007-04-10)
PTP/IP is a new connectivity standard for networked imaging appliances which combines the ease of use and seamless connectivity of picture transfer protocol (PTP) with the ubiquity of TCP/IP networks. In this paper we ...
Separating Directional Lighting Variability in Statistical Face Modelling Based on Texture Space Decomposition
(IEEE, 2007-07-04)
In this paper we propose a simple method for decomposing the linear texture space of a facial appearance model into two linear subspaces, one for inter-individual variability and another for variations caused by directional ...
A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(IEEE, 2009-02-10)
A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ...
