  Fourth IEEE Workshop on  Embedded Computer Vision
Computer vision was successfully used, for example, in mission-critical systems such as the landing of the recent rovers on Mars, and in computer-aided surgery.
Computer vision is widely used also in industrial embedded systems, taking part in production and inspection processes.
Traditionally, different embedded computer vision domains, such as computer aided-surgery and surveillance were treated separately due to the different nature of the domains.

  Embedded System Design Issues (the Rest of the Story)
Embedded systems in many cases must be optimized for life-cycle and business-driven factors rather than for maximum computing throughput.
The usual reason for embedding a computer is to interact with the environment, often by monitoring and controlling external machinery.
Computer designers venturing into the embedded arena must realize that their culture (and the underlying tool infrastructure) are unlike what is commonly practiced in some other engineering disciplines.
