Microsemi has announced an imaging/video solution for the development of low power and reliable video processing applications. The new platform is comprised of an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC), a comprehensive IP suite and GUI. The FMC plugged into the SmartFusion2 Advanced Development Kit demonstrates Microsemi’s IGLOO2 FPGA and SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA capabilities to support configurable and scalable camera, imaging and video designs.

Robots will outnumber human beings, there will be more driverless cars than traditional vehicles and drones will be used to deliver pizzas to our door. These are just some of the technologies that could transform our lives within the next 20 years according to research released to mark the start of London Technology Week 2016 (the SMG Insight /YouGov survey of 2,077 British adults took place in June 2016).

The proliferation of low cost drones for hobbyists has led to a number of well publicised incidents. The use of drones is now often forbidden by law around airports, sporting events and government establishments due to the risk of physical injury or use in committing crimes. Policing has traditionally resorted to arresting the drone operator and/or seizing the drone and its cargo when it lands, as forcing the drone out of the sky while it is flyi...

Microdrones, that fly above prohibited areas are an increasing security risk. R&S ARDRONIS enables users to identify drone control signals early on, locate and even stop the drone.

Samsung Electronics unveiled the industry’s first removable memory cards based on the JEDEC UFS 1.0 Card Extension Standard, for use in high-resolution mobile shooting devices such as DSLRs, 3D VR cameras, action cams and drones. Coming in a wide range of storage capacities including 256, 128, 64 and 32 GB, Samsung’s UFS cards are expected to bring a significant performance boost to the external memory storage market, allowing much mo...

The maker movement - the rapidly-growing community of individual and micro-scale industrial inventors, designers, hackers and tinkerers - is being hailed by many as the next industrial revolution. But the maker movement is so often hampered by makers' needs to have key parts custom-machined in small volumes or as one-offs, while most of the machining world is set up to service giant industrial clients.

As children, most of us remember reeling off the various farm yard animals included in the popular nursery rhyme ‘Old MacDonald had a farm’. However, the next generation of toddlers may have to add another couple of verses. Advances in technology are changing the industry around the world, meaning that the farms of tomorrow will look quite different.

Synopsys has announced the DesignWare EV6x family, its latest generation of processor cores optimised for embedded vision applications requiring high definition resolutions. The fully programmable and configurable EV61, EV62 and EV64 embedded vision processors integrate one, two or four vision CPU cores and a programmable convolution neural network (CNN) engine.

Driven by renewed mobile and automotive applications, the CIS industry is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2015 to 2021, reaching $18.8bn market value by 2021.Yole Développement (Yole), the ‘More than Moore’ market research and strategy consulting company, expects sustained growth of the CIS industry for the next five years.

The policing of the restricted airspace over airports is becoming increasingly complex and challenging due to the proliferation of consumer drones – and we have already had several incidents of high profile near misses between consumer drones and commercial aircraft. The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) is currently reporting more than 100 drone sightings within the vicinity of US airports each month.
