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."

    If we deployed a large solar array in space and then used it to generate energon cubes then we could just use the shuttle to collect the energon cubes. Later after we gathered enough we could build large transforming robots to collect the cubes. These robots would be powered off the cubes as well.
