Image Processor Makes for Better Photos and Performance

Today’s cameras and smartphones can remove common photographic flaws caused by limited dynamic range, which keeps shadow and highlight details from registering and puts noise speckles in darker image areas. But the software-based processors used for this can cut battery life and add annoying pauses between shots.

The Future Of Food

          Just got through this article of Mr.Bill Gates about the future of food and the demand of meat in the future.So wanted to share this article in my blog.A serious issue to look at the forthcoming future.Meat consumption worldwide has doubled in the last 20 years, and it is expected to double again by 2050. This is happening in large part because economies are growing and people can afford more meat. That's all good news. But raising meat takes a great deal of land and water and has a substantial environmental impact. Put simply, there’s no way to produce enough meat for 9 billion people. Yet we can't ask everyone to become vegetarians. We need more options for producing meat without depleting our resources.

Telecommuting and Yahoo's Desperate Need for Innovation

Yahoo’s CEO, Marissa Mayer, and its executive vice president of HR, Jacqueline Reses, started a firestorm a few weeks ago with a memo that called all its work-at-home personnel back into the office, beginning in June. By some reports, that’s only a few hundred employees, but it seems others, who work at home regularly for part of the week, or who less regularly but more than occasionally work at home, would no longer be allowed to work remotely as well.

Samsung Galaxy S4

The Galaxy S4, Samsung's latest and greatest, has a cute feature we'll probably see in a lot of phones soon: You can shoot both yourself and your surroundings at the same time, using the front - and back-mounted cameras. It's a bit like having a two-camera film crew follow you around.

But other than that, it's hard to point to anything that will set the world on fire in the new phone, revealed on Thursday at an event in New York. The S4 has what you'd expect from a new smartphone: a bigger screen and a faster processor. It may prove to be unfortunate that didn't stop there when it presented the successor to its hit Galaxy S III, because the phone has a grab-bag of features that don't come together as a pleasing whole.

The phone will go on sometime between late April and the end of June period, from Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile USA, US Cellular and Cricket, Samsung says. If history is any guide, even smaller phone companies will get it, if not right away. The phone companies will set the prices; expect this phone to start at $200 with a two-year contract.

IEEE Spectrum Automaton's Newest Recruit: TurtleBot 2

Can a robotics journalist with a degree in geology program a real robot to do cool new stuff? We're going to find out, with a new series of articles featuring the TurtleBot 2.
Hi there. My name is Evan, and I write about robots for IEEE Spectrum. I've written thousands of robot-related articles since way back in 2007, so while it may be true that I know rather a lot about robots, I'm certainly not what you’d call a roboticist, in that I have essentially no idea how to build or program an actual robot. I have a degree in astrogeology, of all things. I've always felt bad about that: here I am, writing about all of this robot stuff, with a background in Martian impact cratering. I mean, how can I possibly get other robot people to take me seriously when I don’t know the first thing about making a robot, right?
So, I'm going to start doing something about that. Clearpath Robotics and the Open Source Robotics Foundation have very generously agreed to lend me a shiny new TurtleBot 2, which I'll be using to write a series of tutorials based on the experiences that I have with it. Seeing as I’m an astrogeologist, my job will be to start from scratch, putting together articles and tutorials that absolutely anyone will be able to follow along with to see what it's like getting a TurtleBot up and running and doing fun things, even if you have no experience with robots or Linux or ROS or any of that (since I pretty much don't).
Let me give you just a little bit more detail on my background, so that you know where I’m starting from on all this. Firstly, I’m a Windows user. I’ll be writing these tutorials on a relatively new desktop PC running Windows 7. For the robot, I'll be using the Robot Operating System (ROS), which runs on Linux, so getting all that to work is going to be a challenge all by itself. I do know how to write computer programs, but only in Visual Basic (!), which isn't going to be particularly useful, except that it might (I’m hoping) make it a little bit easier for me to understand the syntax and structure of other programming languages. So I do have a little bit going for me (I think), but even if you don’t, nothing in here should be beyond you if you have a willingness to do a little bit of learning.

Steve Mann: My “Augmediated” Life

Back in 2004, I was awakened early one morning by a loud clatter. I ran outside, only to discover that a car had smashed into the corner of my house. As I went to speak with the driver, he threw the car into reverse and sped off, striking me and running over my right foot as I fell to the ground. When his car hit me, I was wearing a computerized-vision system I had invented to give me a better view of the world. The impact and fall injured my leg and also broke my wearable computing system, which normally overwrites its memory buffers and doesn’t permanently record images. But as a result of the damage, it retained pictures of the car’s license plate and driver, who was later identified and arrested thanks to this record of the incident.
Was it blind luck (pardon the expression) that I was wearing this vision-enhancing system at the time of the accident? Not at all: I have been designing, building, and wearing some form of this gear for more than 35 years. I have found these systems to be enormously empowering. For example, when a car’s headlights shine directly into my eyes at night, I can still make out the driver’s face clearly. That’s because the computerized system combines multiple images taken with different exposures before displaying the results to me.



I’ve built dozens of these systems, which improve my vision in multiple ways. Some versions can even take in other spectral bands. If the equipment includes a camera that is sensitive to long-wavelength infrared, for example, I can detect subtle heat signatures, allowing me to see which seats in a lecture hall had just been vacated, or which cars in a parking lot most recently had their engines switched off. Other versions enhance text, making it easy to read signs that would otherwise be too far away to discern or that are printed in languages I don’t know.
