I've been working on and off on some code for decoding barcodes from images. The basic premise is, take a digital image of a barcode, scan over the barcode and do appropriate lookups to figure out ...

In designing digital cameras and other consumer devices incorporating camera functionality, with ever improving performance, memory and power often prove to be the major constraints. Consumers expect ...

Engineers have developed a way to extract a sequence of images from light scattered through a mostly opaque material -- or even off a wall -- from one long photographic exposure. The technique has ...

Object recognition is a key function in both human and machine vision. While brain decoding of seen and imagined objects has been achieved, the prediction is limited to training examples. We present a ...

Want to display a PNG file on a display attached to an Arduino or other microcontroller board? You’ll want to look at [Larry Bank]’s PNGdec, the Arduino-friendly PNG decoder library which makes it ...

You’d be forgiven for thinking that receiving data transmissions from orbiting satellites requires a complex array of hardware and software, because for a long time it did. These days we have the ...

A group of researchers published a study this week in which they showed off an ability to reconstruct a photo of a human face just from recording the brain waves of a monkey that was viewing the photo ...

On April 28, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a precedential decision in RecogniCorp, LLC v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. (2016-1499) that certain claims in RecogniCorp’s patent ...
