Machine Vision on the Horizon: Vitamin D Launches Object Recognition for Video
- wheaties 17y agoAnyone download this yet? I'm dying to know what language it's written.
- icey 17y agoIt looks like it's using Numenta's technology: http://www.numenta.com/about-numenta/numenta-technology.php http://www.numenta.com/about-numenta/numenta-technology.php (link grabbed from the article)
- fjabre 17y agoInspiring but kind of creepy... =)
- liuliu 17y agoHow is the new HTM method different from existing one, for example, Deep Belief Network?
- biohacker42 17y agoWhat exactly is new here? I thought computers could identify and track an object in video already?
- pixcavator 17y agoOK, let me see... the wide rectangles are cars and the tall ones are people. Is there anything else?
- axiom 17y agoStatic scenes, no apparent occlusion handling, poor object localization. If I had to guess I'd say all they have going on in the demo is straightforward background-subtraction with blob tracking. Maybe they're working on something more interesting, but haven't got a compelling demo yet. That being said, they're trying to tackle a very hard unsolved problem, and quite frankly their chances are low (using HTM is a bad sign.)
- liuliu 17y agofrom what I've read, it seems that they are doing something to distribute a specially designed (tree structure) deep belief network across their clusters. Maybe the details more complicated (combining more properties of neuron?), and the results looks like that they just trained a "background-subtraction + blob-tracking" system.
- axiom 17y agoHmmm... that would be even worse. If you're right they not only have something that's trivial, but also opaque - as with almost all soft computing techniques.
