Findings could contribute to improved machine vision.

Michael J. Lander

Scientists have discovered a great deal about how the brain perceives objects. Less clear is how it identifies what these objects are made of based on their surface appearance. Understanding how humans make this determination would provide insights into brain function and could have applications in machine vision system design. Edward H. Adelson and colleagues at MIT in Cambridge and at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. in Atsugi, Japan, have discovered a relationship that may help advance this understanding. To begin the study, the researchers prepared textured stucco samples and...Read full article

    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...
