Teaching Computers to See with Games

Posted by timothy on from the playing-doctor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has a story on Peekaboom, a two-player on-line game in which one player tries to get the other player to guess a word associated with an image, by revealing parts of the image one click at a time. From the article, "The process of revealing objects, or highlighting images within the larger context of the photo, is the sort of thing that researchers in computer vision must do to teach computers to see.""
