About Embedded Eye

Welcome! Embedded Eye is a community site hosted by Centeye for discussions on embedded vision systems. This includes all relevant technical areas including optics, image sensors, algorithms, and applications, including how these components are put together. We encourage you to ask questions, share your ideas, provide comments, and otherwise help each other do neat things.

This is an inclusive community. We welcome technologists of all levels, and of all interests and applications related to embedded vision. Although this site is hosted by Centeye, we welcome discussion of non-Centeye topics and hardware, and encourage participation by competitors as well as by customers and collaborators.

WFOV 6-DOF Vision System for Optical Flow Odometry using ArduEye and Arduino

 As a participant in the Harvard University Robobees Project, our primary task at Centeye is to develop a vision sensor system that will fit into a small flying robot about 2cm in size. The target weight budget for the vision system is 25 milligrams. While we still have a ways to go before achieving this, we are continually looking for new techniques to minimize the…See More

ArduEye odometry example using Tam2 (16x16) chip and Rox1 board 26 Replies

OVERVIEW:This is a quick start set of instructions to demonstrate simple odometry using an "ArduEye" and a Tam2 (16x16) chip. Note that in order to view images or sense optical flow, you need a lens…Continue

New ArduEye using Stonyman image sensor chips

Awhile ago we (Centeye) started ArduEye, a project to implement an open source programmable vision sensorbuilt around the Arduino platform. The first ArduEye version used a simple Tam image sensor chip and a plastic lens attached directly to the chip. After much…

Wide field 4D optical flow odometry using Arduino and Stonyman image sensor

 

I've been working on a new version of our ArduEye using one of our "Stonyman" image sensor chips and decided to see if I can grab four dimensions of optical flow (X shift, Y shift, curl, and divergence) from a wide field of view. I wirebonded a Stonyman chip to a 1" square breakout board, and attached it to an Arduino Mega256 using a simple connecting…

Make an optical flow sensor using an Arduino, CdS cells, and a shoebox!

This device is no match for an optical flow sensor made using an optical mouse, but it does (minimally) work. Think of this little project as a fun hack more than anything else.

This optical flow sensor uses CdS cells as light sensing…

RC micro helicopter hover (yaw and height) using millimeter thick vision camera

As part of Centeye's participation in the NSF-funded Harvard University Robobee project, we are trying to see just how small we can make a vision system that can control a small flying vehicle. For the Robobee project our weight budget will be on the order of 25 milligrams.…

CYE32 Features Video

In an earlier post, I shared plans for a CYE32 vision sensor based around the AT32UC3B1256 microcontroller.  After working with this vision sensor for a couple months, it has become a useful platform for trying out new vision chips and new image processing algorithms. 

 

I put together a short…
