Is This the First Video Podcast with an AI Co-Host?

Things are moving at breakneck speed in artificial intelligence (AI) space (where no one can hear you scream). For example, I’ve just been introduced to Sophie the Sage, who is the AI co-host of a video podcast.

Now, you may think “Sophie the Sage” is a strange sobriquet, but my own online moniker is “Max the Magnificent,” so I’m in no … Read More → "Is This the First Video Podcast with an AI Co-Host?"

Machine Vision, Robotics, Industrial Applications? There’s an SOM for That!

I’ve heard it said that “60 is the new 40,” which means that people in their 60s today are often as active, healthy, and youthful as people in their 40s used to be in previous generations. This must be true because, a few days ago, as I pen these words, I celebrated the 47th anniversary of my 21st birthday, and I don’t feel a day over… I’ … Read More → "Machine Vision, Robotics, Industrial Applications?

EYEO’s Eye-Opening Image Sensor Technology

Today’s image sensors—the ones used in digital photography, surveillance, and machine vision—are amazing, awesome, and [insert your favorite superlative here]. Even more remarkable is the fact that they achieve all this while effectively “throwing away” around 70% of the incoming light. Can you imagine how much more amazing, awesome, and [your superlative here] they could be if they used 100% of the light instead? Well, now … Read More → "EYEO’s Eye-Opening Image Sensor Technology"

Will We Soon Say, “CMOS Sensors Drool, SPAD Sensors Rule”?

We may think that today’s artificial intelligence (AI), especially Generative AI (GenAI) like ChatGPT, is terrific, but I’m informed that “We ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” I’m also informed that the “next big thing” in AI will be centered on images and video, specifically machine vision. However, today’s cameras, which were designed for humans, not computers, are still far from the point … Read More → "Will We Soon Say, “CMOS Sensors Drool, SPAD Sensors Rule”?"
