The 256shadesofgray.com website is currently work in progress. There will be more details and stuff there soon.<p>Video of the 256 Shades of Gray machine in action: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOXzD_7pL4M&#38;list=PLA329EE5B0A89A9E0&#38;index=6" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOXzD_7pL4M&#38;list=PLA329EE...</a>

An enjoyable paper, a thoughtful example of engineering under constraints, and a successful outcome. Congratulations!<p>(But, and I'll gladly take the karma hit for saying this, please don't pay any attention to my fellow HNers complaining about every possible tangential non-issue.)

Thats cool, but it seems to have the performance equivalent of an early P4. Theres talk about FPS, but then its mostly about static images?! Theres little information about the actual performance of the system on the FPGA because everything is seemingly hamstrung by the woefully inadequate AVR used for feeding the data.

This submission needs a better title.

To the implementers: congratulations on a successful project, but please make sure you consider the ethics of your field before applying what you have learned for money.

Am I the only one that is dissatisfied with all of the Lena references in the computer vision community? For a few years I was righteously indignant about the gender issues involved but now it's just trite. Makes us seem like adolescents that we find it so important to reference a Playboy photograph.
