Introduction of Qt for Automation

Monday, March 26, 2018 Guest blog from The Qt Company  Today, Industry 4.0 and the IIoT have introduced a whole new set of challenges: There will be more connected devices, which will generate more data, that in turn will lead to even more complex software applications.  The playing field will change at an exponentially accelerating pace, including the state of device infrastructure, application complexity, and development. To address this, architects came up with a common infrastructure design for the future of IoT: Within this design, Qt and Toradex play in the field of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Edge devices/controllers. There, Qt's strengths such as cross-platform, user experience, the large number of libraries and tools, can be used without restriction. The Qt Company sees challenges like scalability, interoperability and performance requirements when creating smart devices as well as HMI solutions. As the implementations vary within the field of Industrial

Starting with OpenCV on i.MX 6 processors

Wednesday, November 22, 2017 Introduction As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. It is indeed true to some extent: a picture can hold information about objects, environment, text, people, age and situations, among other information. It can also be extended to video, that can be interpreted as a series of pictures and thus holds motion information. This might be a good hint as to why  computer vision  (CV) has been a field of study that is expanding its boundaries every day. But then we come to the question: what is computer vision? It is the ability to extract meaning from an image, or a series of images. It is not to be confused with  digital imaging  neither  image processing , which are the production of an input image and the application of mathematical operations to images, respectively. Indeed, they are both required to make CV possible. But what might be somehow trivial to human beings, such as reading or recognizing people, is not always true when
