About Micro Computer Vision

This blog is about Micro Computer Vision or MicroCV. Computer vision involves creating algorithms for images and video.

MicroCV deals with computer vision for (1) Mobile and (2) Micro/nano devices.

Mobile vision is driven by industry, which makes amazing machines like the iPhone. These may have cameras, pocket projectors and even stereoscopic displays. Our goal in mobile vision is to figure out if these devices (meant for the marketplace) have an impact on research by either enabling new algorithms or making old ones easier.

Micro vision is driven by researchers, who use the amazing tools from 3D printing and related areas to build vision systems for very very small platforms. Our goal in micro vision, is to make computer vision work under the extreme constraints of limited volume, mass, power consumption and computing.

MicroCV will revolutionize the next wave of small devices, which include microrobots and other tiny machines. I am researcher in this area, and I use this blog to keep track of news articles, webpages, academic papers and other sources of information.
