USB interface for smooth optical flow chip

a USB interface with the smooth optical flow sensor permits a comfortable way to create e.g. human-machine interfaces. to decrease bandwidth, only the global flow vector is estimated on the sensor by letting all motion pixels interact globally.

virtual typewriter

we emulated a simple motion-sequence classification network that is able to learn and classify sequences of global motion. different sequences were assigned to individual characters in the alphabet, thus allowing a human to write simply by short sequences of e.g. arm-movements. click here for more information.
