Selecting the Right Camera for Your Embedded Computer Vision Project

The right camera can be key to the success of a computer vision project. For example, in an object detection or segmentation task, you can gain much more in performance by producing images with high contrast between your objects of interest and the background than by having your deep neural network do its best with sub-par footage. It’s easy to underestimate the complexity of selecting and integrating the right camera for your application, and the numerous important considerations can seem overwhelming. In this talk, we provide an introduction to the main factors to consider when choosing a camera, and share practical considerations you can apply in your project.
