The Augmented Vision research group gets a Google Research Award for developing technologies in the area of new media and interactive video. The award supports the very promising work started in the area of object tracking and video processing. More coming soon…!

 

More than 50 newspapers articles, radio and TV reports have been published over the last two months. On 02.09.2010 PAMAP is demonstrated at the multimedia congress of the region and became the eye-catcher of the exhibition.

Intel Labs has created an experimental “Single-chip Cloud Computer,” (SCC) a research microprocessor containing the most Intel Architecture cores ever integrated on a silicon CPU chip – 48 cores.
Our Sensor and Computer Vision Library ARGOS has been designed to support such on coming (multi-core) hardware and best fits the SCC approach. Our proposal has been retained and we are proud to get access to the novel and unique SCC hardware.
