CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. Oct. 8, 2009 – Human vision is designed to look at the rough outlines of the various objects before examining the details. This improves the speed and accuracy of our image recognition – a trait that could be essential to our survival. However, machine vision typically performs the task in the opposite manner, carefully comparing the details of each image section to the images in its data bank, slowly and methodically eliminating areas until the device finds a match. In an attempt to change the way computers see the world, researchers at Boston College have developed a technique that models computer...Read full article

    computer vision
    Computer vision enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data, such as images and videos. It involves the development of algorithms, techniques, and systems that enable machines to gain an understanding of the visual world, similar to how humans perceive and interpret visual information. Key aspects and tasks within computer vision include: Image recognition: Identifying and categorizing objects, scenes, or patterns within images. This involves training algorithms...
    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
