What is edge AI and what are its applications? Edge AI has been the cornerstone of many transformations in imaging systems used across industries such as agriculture, medical, retail, industrial, smart city, etc. It makes use of artificial intelligence to help automate certain tasks to improve the efficiency and performance of machines. But what is edge AI? What is the difference between AI and edge AI? Does edge AI come with certain benefits?

Remote patient monitoring is now a key application in medical spaces where cameras and AI are revolutionizing the delivery of care. This article will thus discuss how the two technologies work together to make life easier for patients and caregivers. The adoption of artificial intelligence is on the rise across all sectors. Though current AI cannot compete with the cognitive ability of the human brain, it has already started to dominate when it comes to performing mundane as well as intelligent tasks – and the medical field is not an exception to this. It has been captivating to see new and emerging applications and use cases where AI works in harmony with other technologies to enhance human experiences.

For spontaneous photography, the best camera for the job is the one you happen to be holding. For the overwhelming majority of casual photographers, that camera is the one in your smartphone. The very first cameras appeared on commercial mobile phones around the turn of the century (although as ever with tech milestones, there are multiple claims to the title of pioneer). The early work of companies like Kyocera, Motorola, Samsung, and even Apple, opened the floodgates to what is now best called'computational photography'; relatively small sensors and lenses, paired with massively sophisticated algorithms and processing to deliver the kind of images that even the best DSLR cameras would struggle to match. One company believes that mobile photography could be better.

StradVision, an innovator in vision processing technology for Autonomous Vehicles, has announced it raised $27 million in its Series B funding round, led by Posco Capital. This round brings StradVision's total funding to $40 million. Other Series B investors include: IDG Capital; Industrial Bank of Korea; Lighthouse Combined Investment; LSS Private Equity; Mirae Asset Venture Investment; Neoplux; and Timefolio Asset Management. "StradVision's software solutions for Autonomous Vehicles and ADAS systems are proving successful and attractive to leading automakers and suppliers, as our latest round of funding strongly confirms." said Junhwan Kim, CEO of StradVision. "We appreciate all of our new investors coming on board, and StradVision will use this funding to take our groundbreaking products to the next level as we lead the advancement of camera technology in Autonomous Vehicles."

For anyone questioning the strides being made in the world of autonomous vehicles, meet FLIR Systems. The California tech company has been developing its thermal sensor camera technology to enhance capabilities of self-driving cars. FLIR has been developing thermal sensor technology that could impact the future of self-driving vehicles. Ride actually had an opportunity to experience FLIR's thermal technology during a demo ride at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. Widely known for its military applications, thermal sensors focus on heat emanating from objects, which makes the technology more efficient in detecting obstacles on the road across various depths of field.

Huawei's Honor subsidiary today launched a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered app called PocketVision, which is designed to help those with visual impairments read documents, menus, and text using their smartphone camera. The PocketVision app, which was unveiled today at the annual IFA conference in Berlin, was developed in conjunction with Eyecoming, a Chinese social technology company specializing in visual impairments. According to Census Bureau data, roughly 20% of people in the U.S alone have a disability, more than half of whom report a "severe" disability. This figure is roughly consistent with other countries around the world, too. And it's against that backdrop that Huawei's Honor offshoot is launching the PocketVision app.

Chinese researchers have developed a new camera technology that can render human sized-subjects as far as 28 miles away. According to a paper from researcher Zheng-Ping Li published in the open source journal ArXiv, the camera technology can cut through smog and other pollution using a mixture of laser imaging and advanced AI software. While LIDAR technology, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, has been used previously in other cameras and imaging techniques, researchers say a new software helps to mitigate the noise of predecessors. Chinese researchers have developed a new camera technology that can render human sized-subjects as far as 28 miles away. In a technique called'gating' software helps ignore photons reflected by other objects in the camera's field of view.

By Will Yang Technology in today's day and age has enabled a human to do things and accomplish far more than one could think of a few years back. Thanks to rapidly evolving and innovative technologies, personal lives have become more enriched. Meaningful collaborations between a human and machine/technology has in many ways provided a wealth of opportunities to us making our lives comfortable. One such technology buzzword in the industry today is Artificial Intelligence. Once a topic for science fiction, Artificial Intelligence technology is now being used by brands across industries and categories.

Self-driving cars are already asking people to put AI systems in control of their vehicles. Now, Mitsubishi wants to rid its new cars of one of the last relics of the past: the rear-view mirror. The automotive manufacturer announced this week that it has developed the industry's highest performing automotive camera technology. When installed on a vehicle, it can detect objects up to 100 meters (328 feet) away, and boosts object detection accuracy from a previous 14 percent to 81 percent. Mitsubishi explains their new cameras utilize their own Maisart AI, which has the ability to accurately differentiate between pedestrians, cars, and motorcycles.
