Mobile World Congress: VR/AR, dual cameras, 360 video, and deep learning

The Embedded Vision Summit is coming up soon. Mark your calendars for May 2-4 in Santa Clara, California. This year we’re expecting over 1000 application developers, business leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to attend – all focused on embedded vision. As a sponsor, exhibitor and speaker, we can offer a 15% Videantis16 discount code when registering.
Jeff Dean of Google and Larry Matthies of NASA are keynote speakers and our own Marco Jacobs will give a presentation titled “Computer Vision in Cars: Status, Challenges, and Trends”. Just as cars replaced horse carriages in the 1920s, electronics will replace the human operators in our cars in the 2020s. These systems use cameras and computer vision techniques to understand the vehicle’s surroundings. Marco will provide an overview of the state of ADAS today and give a glimpse into the future.
