Hitachi Develops New Visual Search

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the which-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-other dept.

Tech.Luver writes to tell us that Hitachi has developed a new visual search engine that can supposedly find similar images from within millions of video and picture data entries in around 1 second. "The technology assesses the similarity of images based on image characteristics presented as high-dimensional numeric information. The information is acquired by automatically detecting information regarding the images, such as color distribution and shapes."

    What is this HDD they speak of repeatedly?

    Did I miss the release of the next big thing in hard drive technology? High-Def Drives?

    Will I be left in the dust if I opt in for this new fangled tech when Sony releases their competing HDRD's? (High-Def-Ray Drives?)
