"Machines that See" at the Embedded Vision Summit East

[jlgiddings]

View attachment 8611 The Embedded Vision Alliance will be holding its third technical conference, the Embedded Vision Summit East, in the Boston area on October 2. The Embedded Vision Summit East is a high-quality technical conference on the design and implementation of systems that incorporate computer vision.

Embedded Vision Summits are one-day technical forums for product creators, with a rich program of "how-to" presentations, technology demonstrations, and opportunities to interact with Alliance Member companies. This year's Embedded Vision Summit East features two technical tracks with special presentations by leading technologies from iRobot and DARPA. In addition, there will be over 25 demos of vision technology as well as one-on-one access to experts in vision from leading technology providers. Complete details are available on the Embedded Vision Summit East web page.

Last year’s Embedded Vision Summit in Boston was highly rated—attendees gave it an 8.6 on a scale of 10. This year promises to be even better. To hear what attendees of the last Summit had to say, watch the short video. Presentations from the last Summit are available online.

The Summit will take place at the Westford Regency Conference Center in Westford, Massachusetts on October 2nd, from 8 am to 7:30 pm. Register today!

Looks like a great conference, I see interesting presentations from companies like: TI, Synopsys and Xilinx.

There are also two special presentations from DARPA and DARPA contractors. Mike Geertsen, Program Manager for the DARPA Visual Media Reasoning Program, will present an overview of the Visual Media Reasoning (VMR) Program. DARPA contractors SRI International and Next Century Corp. will present the enabling tools that they have developed under the VMR Program. These presentations will be part of the Advanced Topics track in the Embedded Vision Summit technical program.

Under the Visual Media Reasoning Program, DARPA has facilitated the development of a range of innovative computer vision technologies, focused on the question: can a meta-reasoning (i.e. “lightweight AI”) system that fuses and reasons over the input of multiple “fragile” vision algorithms dramatically improve system performance? As part of this program, DARPA has created two general-purpose vision system development tools which DARPA and its contractors will make widely available. One of these tools enables the automated evaluation of vision algorithm performance over a massive parameter space. The other enables generation of synthetic image content for use in training and testing detection and recognition algorithms. These tools are planned to be released in late 2013 or early 2014.

jigiddings,

Thanks for the update on the DARPA presentations.
