Vision4ce launched a new line of General-purpose Rugged Image Processing (GRIP) products at the recent SPIE Defense and Security Symposium in Orlando from 18th-20th March 2008. The GRIP-Beta showed cutting edge GPGPU-based image processing demonstrations, analog and Gigabit Ethernet video streams and the robust functionality in the Gripworkx image processing framework. The Vision4ce team with GRIP now addresses numerous rugged embedded computing challenges with a cost effective, readily available rugged solution that might normally be served by more expensive and lengthy FPGA approaches.
