After years of work by scores of engineering teams worldwide, the dream of consumer driverless cars could soon become reality. Central to the crash-free operation of such vehicles is the array of ...

Next-generation steering technologies for lidar are making machine vision cheaper and more portable. Janelle Shane describes how these advances could apply to autonomous vehicles Edge case: The real ...

Working on a machine vision project requires understanding each part of the system, including light sources, frame grabbers, and computers. Here is a primer on two essential machine-vision terms.

A project at Shanghai's Fudan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences could lead to improved motion sensors for machine vision and other applications. The bio-inspired design stems from ...

The tiny visual systems of flying insects have inspired researchers of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to develop optoelectronic graded neurons for perceiving dynamic motion, enriching ...

We all know that having two eyes is what allows humans and many animals to see in stereoscopic vision and judge distance, but there are many depth clues in any scene that help us determine depth while ...
