The British Machine Vision Conference is due take place at the beginning of September, an event with machine vision in the title - but, confusingly, focusing on academic algorithm development and computer vision. Greg Blackman asks what industrial image processing can learn from academia
Greg Blackman looks at the options for high-throughput image processing, including FPGAs and multicore processors, and finds out what unites development in all software packages is ease of use
Greg Blackman on the developments taking place within image processing libraries
Stephen Mounsey looks at trends in the development of image processing software and libraries, and finds that usability is becoming increasingly important here
Stephen Mounsey discovers that for some applications, 'quite fast' just isn't fast enough
Greg Blackman investigates some of the advancements in image processing technology
