Free software Binary blobs and other proprietary software
1 The proclaimed aim of the campaign against blobs is to collect hardware
documentation that allows developers to write free software
drivers for that hardware, ultimately enabling all free operating systems
to become or remain blob-free.

Free software Binary blobs and other proprietary software
1 The issue of binary blobs in the Linux kernel and other device drivers motivated some developers in Ireland to launch gNewSense, a Linux based distribution with all the binary blobs removed.
The project received support from the Free Software Foundation and stimulated the creation, headed by the Free Software
Foundation Latin America, of the Linux-libre kernel. As of October 2012, Trisquel is the most popular FSF endorsed GNU/Linux distribution
ranked by Distrowatch (over 12 months).

Binary blob
1 In the context of open source software, a binary blob is a closed source binary-only driver
without publicly available source code. The term usually refers to closed-source kernel module
loaded into the kernel of an open source operating system, and is usually not applied to code running outside the kernel, such as BIOS code, firmware images, or userland programs.
The term blob was first used in database management system to describe a collection of
binary data stored as a single entity.

Binary blob
1 When computer hardware vendors provide complete technical documentation for their
products, operating system developers are able to write hardware device drivers to be included in the operating system kernels. However, some
vendors, such as NVIDIA, do not provide complete documentation for some of their
products and instead provide binary-only drivers (binary blobs); this practice is most common for
accelerated graphics drivers, networking devices and RAID controllers.

Binary blob Acceptance
1 Some projects try to create a free operating system, and will not accept
binary blobs if they cannot get documentation for hardware or
source code for device drivers. Such projects include NetBSD, FreeBSD,
DragonFly BSD, and some GNU/Linux distributions.

Binary blob Acceptance
1 The OpenBSD project has a notable policy of not accepting any binary
blobs into its source tree, citing not only the potential for undetectable or
irreparable security flaws, but also the encroachment onto the openness
and freedom of its software.

Binary blob Acceptance
1 The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is actively campaigning against binary blobs. It also considers OpenBSD's policy flawed, as 'blobs' in the BSD
community refer to what it considers non-free drivers, and not non-free
firmware.

Binary blob Acceptance
1 The Debian project included both free and non-free binary firmware
blobs from the Linux kernel, clearly marking and separating the non-free
packages according to the Debian Social Contract. As of Debian 6.0
those blobs were removed.

Binary blob Acceptance
1 In the Linux kernel development community, Linus Torvalds has made
strong statements on the issue of binary-only modules, asserting: "I refuse to even consider tying my
hands over some binary-only module", and continuing: "I want
people to know that when they use binary-only modules, it's THEIR
problem"https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Binary blob Legality
1 Prominent Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman has stated that
it is illegal to redistribute closed source modules for the GPL-licensed
Linux kernel.

Binary blob Problems
1 There are a number of reasons why binary blobs can cause
problems.
https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html
![Page 14: Blob .](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6c5503460f94b6ab70/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Binary blob Problems
1 Firstly, their precise operation is not known and bugs cannot be detected by auditing
source code, but are frequently only diagnosed by painstaking detective work
when a system begins to behave unexpectedly. Such undetected bugs may also silently expose users and systems to
security hazards. The fitness for purpose of the driver thus cannot be checked, and
even if a bug is found there is no way to fix it.
https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html
![Page 15: Blob .](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6c5503460f94b6ab70/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Binary blob Problems
1 Secondly because the source code is not available the driver cannot be improved by its users, nor ported
from one architecture to another not originally supported, nor adapted to
operate slight variants of the hardware.
https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html
![Page 16: Blob .](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6c5503460f94b6ab70/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Binary blob Problems
1 Finally, users are forced to trust vendors or malicious third parties not
to put backdoors and spyware into the blob. Again on the theme of trust, the hardware vendor can decide not to support some operating systems, or to abandon driver maintenance at
any time, or simply go out of business leaving the driver in limbo.

Binary blob Use via wrappers
1 A wrapper is software which allows one operating system to use a binary blob driver written for another operating system. Examples of wrappers are
NdisWrapper for Linux, and Project Evil for FreeBSD and NetBSD. These wrappers
allow these operating systems to use network drivers written for Microsoft
Windows by implementing Microsoft's NDIS API.

Binary blob Device firmware
1 Firmware, the software required by the onboard microcontrollers that
accompany some hardware, is generally not considered to be a
binary blob

Binary blob BIOS
1 The BIOS, which functions as a bootloader and supports legacy real mode
applications, is a crucial component of many IBM-compatible computers. The BIOS
is always 16-bit, often has networking functions, and can be a security backdoor (sometimes deliberate, and the operating system has no control over this backdoor). The FSF promotes coreboot in its campaign
for free BIOS firmware.

Linux kernel - Firmware binary blobs
1 In the year 2002 Richard Stallman stated why, in his point of view, such blobs make Linux partially non-free software, and that distributing Linux
may even be violating the GPL (which requires "complete
corresponding source code" to be available)

Blob detection
1 In the field of computer vision, 'blob detection' refers to mathematical methods
that are aimed at detecting regions in a digital image that differ in properties, such as brightness or color, compared to areas surrounding those regions. Informally, a
'blob' is a region of a digital image in which some properties are constant or vary within
a prescribed range of values; all the points in a blob can be considered in some sense to
be similar to each other.

Blob detection
1 Given some property of interest expressed as a function of position on the digital image, there are two main classes of blob detectors: (i)
Differential calculus|differential methods, which are based on
derivatives of the function with respect to position, and (ii) methods based on local Maxima and minima|extrema, which are based on finding the local maxima and minima of the
function

Blob detection
1 In more recent work, blob descriptors have found increasingly popular use as interest point detection|interest
points for wide baseline image registration|stereo matching and to signal the presence of informative
image features for appearance-based object recognition based on local
image statistics

Blob detection - The Laplacian of Gaussian
1 One of the first and also most common blob detectors is based on the Laplacian of the Gaussian (LoG).
Given an input image f(x, y), this image is Convolution|convolved by a
Gaussian kernel

Blob detection - The Laplacian of Gaussian
1 Matas et al. (2002) were interested in defining image descriptors that are robust under 3D
projection#Perspective projection|perspective transformations. They studied level sets in the intensity landscape and measured how stable
these were along the intensity dimension. Based on this idea, they defined a notion of
maximally stable extremum regions and showed how these image descriptors can be used as image features for Computer stereo
vision|stereo matching.

Blob detection - The Laplacian of Gaussian
1 There are close relations between this notion and the above mentioned
notion of grey-level blob tree. The maximally stable extremum regions
can be seen as making a specific subset of the grey-level blob tree
explicit for further processing.

Feature detection (computer vision) - Blobs / regions of interest or interest points
1 Blobs provide a complementary description of image structures in terms of regions, as
opposed to corners that are more point-like. Nevertheless, blob descriptors often contain
a preferred point (a local maximum of an operator response or a center of gravity)
which means that many blob detectors may also be regarded as interest point operators. Blob detectors can detect areas in an image which are too smooth to be detected by a
corner detector.

Feature detection (computer vision) - Blobs / regions of interest or interest points

and DoH blob detection|blob detectors are also mentioned in the
article on corner detection.

Linux (kernel) - Firmware binary blobs
1 On December 15, 2010 the Debian|Debian Project announced that the next Debian stable version would come with a kernel stripped of all non-free firmware bits. This policy

BLOB
1 A 'blob' (alternately known as a 'binary large object', 'basic large
object', 'BLOB', or 'BLOb') is a collection of binary data stored as a
single entity in a database management system. Blobs are typically images, sound|audio or other multimedia objects, though
sometimes binary executable code is stored as a blob. Database support
for blobs is not universal.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

BLOB
1 Blobs were originally just amorphous chunks of data invented by Jim Starkey at Digital
Equipment Corporation|DEC, who describes them as the thing that ate Cincinnati,
Cleveland, or whatever from the 1958 The Blob|Steve McQueen movie. Later, Terry McKiever, a marketing person for Apollo
Computer|Apollo, felt that it needed to be an acronym and invented the backronym Basic
Large Object. Then Informix invented an alternative backronym, Binary Large Object.

BLOB
1 The data type and definition was introduced to describe data not originally defined in traditional computer database systems, particularly because it was too large to store practically at the time the field of database systems was first being defined in the 1970s and 1980s. The data type became practical when disk space became cheap. This definition gained popularity with IBM's IBM DB2|DB2.
