OpenMV Embedded Vision Elektor Engineering Insights 57 with Kwabena Agyeman

Elektor is excited to announce that for Elektor Engineering Insights (EEI) #57, they have secured OpenMV President and co-founder Kwabena Agyeman as the guest speaker. The session, hosted by Elektor, will delve into the realm of practical computer vision specifically tailored for microcontrollers and other hardware with constraints.

Exploring OpenMV Embedded Vision on MCUs

Unlike the conventional approach of running computer vision on a Linux system, this discussion will focus on treating vision as a sensor integrated within an embedded system. The emphasis will be on a firmware stack and tooling designed for real-world deployments, highlighting essential aspects such as hardware choices, image pipelines, performance optimization, power efficiency, and debugging processes in non-desktop environments.

For those interested, registration for the livestream is open, and the recording will be available for later viewing. Additionally, participants can access project documentation and the source repository for further background information.

Insights to Anticipate in EEI #57

The upcoming conversation will explore the practical applications of camera-and-MCU platforms compared to single-board computers (SBCs) and supplementary accelerators. It will also shed light on the development workflow that facilitates rapid iteration and the reality of "Edge AI" claims when deploying models within stringent memory and compute constraints. Expect a deep dive into OpenMV embedded vision without the usual marketing hype.

During the live show, there will be an exciting giveaway of five Arduino Pro Portenta Vision Shield (Ethernet) boards, adding an element of anticipation for the audience.

As highlighted in the coverage by eeNews Europe on Elektor Engineering Insights, the series has been steering towards practical, engineering-focused sessions rather than mere product demonstrations. EEI #57 is set to continue this trend, offering valuable insights for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, 28 January 2026, at 16:00 CET (15:00 UTC) to catch Kwabena Agyeman from OpenMV in action during the live online session, which will also include a Q&A segment for engaging discussions.
