Do you smile when you're frustrated? Most people think they don't — but they actually do, a new study from MIT has found. What's more, it turns out that computers programmed with the latest information from this research do a...

Mathematical Methods for Signal and Image Analysis and Representation presents the mathematical methodology for generic image analysis tasks. In the context of this book an image may be any m-dimensional empirical signal living...

The Microsoft's revolutionary hardware, the Microsoft Kinect, is getting a new piece of brain. Microsoft just released Face Tracking SDK in Kinect For Windows. It can be used for 3D face tracking. It supports most facial types...

When Apple posted a job listing Tuesday for a “Computer Vision specialist,” the tech-obsessed echo chamber began speculating which Apple product line would be employing this person’s expertise. Most intriguingly, the job...

Imagine a tool that can record, export, visualize, and analyze Microsoft Kinect sensor data. NuiCapture, otherwise known as Natural User Interface and recently released by Cadavid Concepts, can do just that.

Perhaps for most of you who are familiar with imaging technology, the CCD is one of the first topics and concepts that you learned about. However this video explains how a CCD works in a very neat and simple way. The CCD...

Techniques of vision-based motion analysis aim to detect, track, identify, and generally understand the behavior of objects in image sequences. With the growth of video data in a wide range of applications from visual...

If you ever come across a person in the street with a giant helmet which looks like a robot, don't be scared. Just step forward and touch the person wearing the helmet. It is blind until you touch the person. Once you touch...

Computer games can be played using eye-tracking technology to control the action on screen. All players have to do is look at what they want to shoot. Two cameras record eye movements and send commands to the software. Swedish...

The recent emergence of Local Binary Patterns (LBP) has led to significant progress in applying texture methods to various computer vision problems and applications. The focus of this research has broadened from 2D textures to...

We have listed most of the computer vision related books on our website and you can find all of them here. If you buy the books through our website, as a token of appreciation, your name will be entered into a raffle to win a...

We often think of facial recognition software as "creepy" or "annoying," but let's not forget that it can be fun, too. I, for one, got a little too carried away with this computer program...

When Microsoft’s Kinect hit the market, programmers immediately began hacking it. This 11 inches wide device produces a visual map of the scene before it, with information about the distance to individual objects. Researchers...

Another amazing project using OpenKinect (drivers), OpenCV (image processing and recognition), FestVox (speech synthesis) and CMU Sphinx (speech recognition). The project has been done a year ago but...

A small German firm offers a unique service to the country's construction industry: It uses historical British and American aerial photography from World War II air strikes to determine the location of unexploded bombs....

Computer and Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (previously entitled Machine Vision) clearly and systematically presents the basic methodology of computer and machine vision, covering the essential elements of...

If you take Adam Harvey's advice, here's what you might wanna wear to a party this weekend: A funny hat, asymmetrical glasses, a tuft of hair that dangles off your nose bridge and, most likely, a black-and-white triangle taped...
