Now this was a rather clever demonstration that our pals at Pico Computing had running at SC07. Take a Where’s Waldo book, point a camera at it, snap a picture and use FPGAs to do a fast pattern match and find Waldo. The results (in half a second or less) looked something like this:
The algorithm involves [...]

On Sunday the 11th I was part of a panel discussion on reconfigurable computing, then I spent the [...]
