A Reconfigurable High-Res Network Camera

An anonymous reader writes "This technical article describes the architecture and design philosophy behind the Elphel Model 313, an intelligent 1.3 megapixel network camera that delivers full-sized images at up to 15 frames per second. The design of the Model 313, which has an embedded Linux computer based on an Axis ETRAX 100LX RISC processor, makes use of a reconfigurable Xilinx FPGA for much of the camera's internal control logic. Because both the embedded software and FPGA hardware algorithms are released as open source technologies, developers can readily customize the Model 313's operation to meet specialized requirements."

  8. Yao posts 27 points, 18 rebounds against twin towe by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    HOUSTON (AP) -- Yao Ming got all the motivation he needed just from reading the starting lineups.


    Matched against David Robinson and Tim Duncan, Yao scored 27 points, grabbed a season-high 18 rebounds and added a crowd-pleasing slam in the closing minutes to lead the Rockets to an 89-75 victory Tuesday night.



    ''It might have been because I knew I was going up against two great centers,'' Yao said, explaining his performance. ''When I first got to the NBA I had a lot to think about. To get this victory, it's like being able to take a deep breath.''



    After leading much of the game, the Rockets trailed 64-61 going into the fourth quarter. But they quickly regained the lead and won going away as the Spurs went scoreless over the final 2:43.



    Yao rebounded a miss by Steve Francis with 3:04 to go and slammed it home, one of several highlight shots in the game. Francis added 18 points and six assists and Moochie Norris had 16 points.


    ''He played great. He was all over the boards,'' Robinson said of Yao. ''He shot the ball well and he moved the ball around with his passing. He was a handful. He was the difference in the game.''



    Duncan had 25 points and 12 rebounds for the Spurs, while former Rocket Kevin Willis added 12 points.


    ''He was impressive tonight,'' Duncan said of Yao. ''He's got a great touch and he's bigger in person than you think he is. He shot the ball better than I thought he could. We had a hand in his face and it didn't matter. He played great tonight.''



    Houston built a 49-39 halftime lead on the first-half shooting of Yao and Norris, but that 10-point edge faded in a 16-4 run by San Antonio to start the third quarter. Duncan scored eight consecutive Spurs points, and his two free throws gave the Spurs a 55-53 lead with 5:35 to go in the quarter.

    I thought it was funny the guy paid $100C for the wireless camera.

    I can buy one locally for $29C. The image quality isn't great, but it is 2.4G camera, and I suspect it is the same camera he used.

    See, this is why modding down "trolls" is bad too.

    Sure, hasnoi was repeating oft-heard themes. Did his comment ruin anyone's day? No, and it's funnier than most of the (Score:5, funny) crap on /.

    Somedays I wish I could serve it to all the idiot mods out there. Metamod doesn't give me nearly the outlet I desire.

    Yes, posting at +2. Maybe that way someone will actually see my comment. If they pageview in the next two minutes.
