How Latency and Video Transmission Impact Drone-Based Vision Systems

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
Drones use 2D and 3D cameras for surveillance, inventory, public safety and emergency response, crop monitoring, field surveying, and delivery and logistics. They can get into large, high places, remote areas, and potentially dangerous environments using the cameras and onboard computing. For such vision-based applications, low latency is critical. As......

What is the Role of Embedded Vision Technology in Counter-UAS Systems?

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, authorities reportedly seized over 700 unauthorized drones in restricted airspace, highlighting the challenge of monitoring airspace around major public events. Airports and critical infrastructure facilities face similar concerns, where unauthorized drone activity can pose safety and operational risks. Detecting an aerial object is only......

Why Robotic Safety Controllers Must Operate Independently of the Vision Compute Platform

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
The recognition of a person by the robot helps to form a more complete understanding of the situation. Although the machine still requires knowledge of the person’s distance and speed as well as its own movement, combining these observations provides the planner with a tracked state against which to base......

Why Changing a Robotic Camera Late Can Trigger a Full System Redesign

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
A robotic camera choice goes far past the module mounted on the machine. Its lens, sensor, image signal processor and interface establish the visual data that enters perception software. They also influence the electrical route to the compute platform and the spatial relationship between the camera and every other sensor.......

Solar-Powered ALPR Cameras: What It Takes to Bring Vehicle Intelligence Off the Grid

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems improve security, streamline access control, and enable traffic monitoring and vehicle identification. However, deploying ALPR cameras in locations without readily available power or network connectivity can be expensive, time-consuming, and operationally complex. Solar-powered ALPR cameras offer a practical alternative by combining low-power imaging, edge......

How e-con Systems enables Reliable Low-Level Obstacle Detection in AMRs with a 3D CW-iToF Camera – DepthVista Helix

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
It’s common knowledge that Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) usually navigate confidently until something small gets in the way. For instance, pallets, pipes, toolboxes, and loose packages can be found below the scanning plane of a 2D LiDAR yet remain invisible to the navigation stack until the robot reaches them. e-con......

Introducing NetraVis, e-con Systems’ 1MP Active Stereo Depth Camera for Accurate Robotic Perception

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
e-con Systems’ recently launched NetraVis is a 1MP active stereo depth camera for indoor robotics applications. NetraVis measures the space around a moving platform and calculates depth inside the camera. Powered by e-con Systems’ proprietary depth-processing algorithm, it is designed to deliver accurate and consistent depth data for robotic perception.......

How e-con Systems Solves Motion and Lighting Challenges in High-Speed Imaging

Vinoth Rajagopalan
by Vinoth Rajagopalan
Capturing fast-moving objects requires both precise image capture and controlled illumination. Fast-moving objects can introduce motion-related distortion, while the short exposure times used to freeze motion can reduce the light reaching the sensor. A global shutter camera addresses motion-related distortion by capturing the entire frame simultaneously, making it suitable for......

Edge AI vs. Cloud ANPR: Where Should the Decision Happen for Traffic Enforcement?

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
When a vehicle crosses the trigger point, the camera has a fraction of a second to capture the plate, process it and recognize it. Then, if it matches a watchlist or a violation, the system must act on this information. This timing pressure raises a critical question that every traffic......
