Reading Lips In Software
SEWilco writes "The Register points out that Intel has released code for reading lips from a video image, Audio Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR). They do point out that better results would probably be achieved by combining video and audio recognition processing. I don't know if they have any patents, we all know some prior "art" from 2001, er.. 1968. HAL's accomplishment was also mentioned by CNN during 2001 in an article about this group's work."
Men and women, boys and girls. All with really thick, dirty, obscuring mustaches.
What is this world coming to?
Well if we give the girls male hormones to make mustaches the world looks like the East German Womans Swim Team
If we forgo the hormones and just have the men grow mustaches and the women wear veils to cover their faces the world will look like 1990's Iraq with all the guys being Saddam Doubles and all the women in Burquas, covered head to toe.
Thank Goodness we're living in Free America not Iraq.
Hmmm... maybe saddam was on the right track... makes you think about all those mustaches in Iraq! Oh and guess what the Iraqui Information Minister was prolly the only one without a mustache... coincidence? I think not!
And if I'm approached to remove it, I'll know that someone is trying to monitor me. Could this be why CDC is concerned with SARS? Can't read lips with SARS masks blocking the 'flow of information". :)
1. stop SARS.
2. collect information.
3. profit.
