System testing of digital camera devices as reverse engineering
Modern digital cameras and cell phones containing digital cameras are merely complex microprocessor systems with ever-increasing amounts of functionality.
Image stabilizers: Utilizing DSP for more advanced, scalable stabilization algorithms
How Human Monitoring's "Leonardo" image stabilization technology takes advantage of TI's DaVinci processor to bring high performance image stabilizing to mass-market cameras. A case study.
Building an ultra-low-cost video camera that offers high dynamic range
This article outlines the key issues from the point of view of a design engineer who has not previously worked with video.
Teardown: Inside Cisco's Flip UltraHD digital camcorder
The insides of the new Flip UltraHD, while leading edge, are not quite as interesting as the questions surrounding Cisco's acquisition of its developer, Pure Digital. Yet, the deal closed and the Flip continues to outsell all competitors, but maybe not for long.
IP video surveillance standards
The video surveillance industry has been slow to adopt standards. Feature-rich IP cameras and encoders offer higher resolutions and embedded analytic capabilities, but the lack of standards has kept some of these devices out of reach, and increases integration costs for solution providers and manufacturers.
Teardown: Digicam highlights integration, price erosion
The Mini Digital Camera highlights the integration and reduction in silicon and board area which has enabled Vivitar to bring a toy camera to market at a price point below $10.
Reducing fluorescent flicker in security camera video
The problem with video cameras and fluorescent (and LED) lighting takes shape in slightly different ways worldwide, but boils down to a video sampling issue that results in problems ranging from color shifts every few seconds to video that "beats" strongly and even disappears periodically.
Camera design for machine vision
The fundamental components of machine vision and a close look at camera requirements, including image sensor technology, architecture requirements, interface standards, resolutions, frame rates and signal processing.
