Object recognition is one of the core topics in computer vision research: After all, a computer that can see isn't much use if it has no idea what it's looking at. Researchers have developed new ...

Imagine waiting for incoming passengers at the arrival gate at the airport. Your visual system can easily find faces and identify whether one of them is your friend's. As with other tasks that our ...

The human and non-human primate brain is remarkable in recognizing partially hidden objects. A study, conducted during a shape recognition task, shows as more of the shape is hidden, a brain area ...

The field of robotics has just taken a step forward with the development of an algorithm that will give artificial intelligence an increased ability for object recognition. This will help robots ...

Fig. 1. Design and fabrication of a multiphoton neuron tactile skin. (a) The design concept and spatial reconstruction workflow of the multiphotonic neuron haptic skin for simulating the tactile ...

To researchers’ surprise, deep learning vision algorithms often fail at classifying images because they mostly take cues from textures, not shapes. When you look at a photograph of a cat, chances are ...

What if you could teach a computer to recognize a zebra without ever showing it one? Imagine a world where object detection isn’t bound by the limits of endless training data or high-powered hardware.

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

Josh Lowensohn joined CNET in 2006 and now covers Apple. Before that, Josh wrote about everything from new Web start-ups, to remote-controlled robots that watch your house. Prior to joining CNET, Josh ...
