Smart Camera Systems Technology Roadmap Seminar by Bruce Flinchbaugh

Consider a 'smart' camera to be a software-programmable camera in which video data digitized from an image sensor is fully exposed to software for processing. In this talk we review the technology trends of programmable processors used in millions of smart cameras today. We consider the application-specific requirements of real-time image, video and vision processing in camera systems, emphasizing consumer electronics, automotive vision and video surveillance equipment. Finally, the requirements and trends are extrapolated to project future smart camera systems, as well as related challenges for vision research.Bio:
Dr. Bruce Flinchbaugh, TI Fellow, manages video and image processing projects in the DSP R&D Center at Texas Instruments. Current activities target vision systems, image processing and adoption of H.264/AVC and China AVS video standards, and OpenGL ES graphics in digital cameras and cellular phones. Since 1982, Bruce and his teams have enabled TI products for diverse systems including the development of algorithms and DSP-based prototypes for intelligent video surveillance, network video recording and digital cameras. He holds twenty patents for TI methods and has published or presented in over 60 technical forums including journals, industry trade magazines and conferences.Host: Professor C.-C.
