Vendors for Computer Vision Algorithms

Vendors usually want to sell a result rather than enable you to get the result for free. For some tasks, code may be available (see the Source Code Listing) so that you can skip the vendor and do it yourself. If you are looking for a system by name (e.g. AMBLER) try the Computer Vision Systems Listing.

For most really interesting tasks, neither a vendor nor code exists to solve your problem -- that is the point of research and development. Those problems are covered more completely by papers referenced in the Computer Vision Bibliography. Current research and applications are highlighted in various Computer Vision and Image Processing conferences. The application oriented workshops often have sessions devoted to vendors and larger meetings may have vendor demonstration sessions.

For some products I have a list of vendors -- sometimes these overlap research groups, sometimes not. These companies supply the results of research, not necessarily the equipment you need to perform research (i.e. I do not provide an extensive list for cameras and computers, though there are some camrea vendors listed).
