An optimal time–space algorithm for dense stereo matching, in Journal of Real-Time Image, 2010. The complexity analysis is good, but it only tells parts of the story. It is not the fault of the authors. It is not the fault of Donald Knuth. It is not the fault of Gordon Moore. It often happens that something has gone wrong but it is not anybody’s fault.

T-RA has a special issue on visual servoing in 1996.

NVIDIA slams Intel’s paper in ISCA 2010. NVIDIA also claims that, given the same amount of time, optimizing a program on GPU can lead to much better performance than optimizing the same program on CPU. NVIDIA does not elaborate the reason why people feel optimizing programs on GPU is easier than that on CPU, but I guess people who optimize large programs on CPU usually are driven mad by the cache.

Online and Incremental Appearance-based SLAM in Highly Dynamic Environments, from TokyoTech, in IJR 2010. The Position-Invariant Robust Features (PIRF) method is showing good results.

micpro has a Special Issue on Exploitation of Hardware Accelerators, with deadline on September 10, 2010.

ViSP — Visual Servoing Platform, a software tool kit developed by the Lagadic group in IRISA. It is easy to compile, except that some files did not include the stdlib properly.

A quiz: who’s who? Although I only remember a few names of them at the first sight, after some googling, it turns out that I have read papers authored by most of them.

Xilinx is targeting Q1 2011 for the production of Virtex 7, Kintex 7, and Artix 7. It seems Artix will replace the market place of Spartan in the 7 series.
