New Object Recognition Algorithm Learns On the Fly

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 20, 2014 @07:47AM from the we'll-do-it-live dept.

Zothecula writes "Scientists at Brigham Young University (BYU) have developed an algorithm that can accurately identify objects in images or videos and can learn to recognize new objects on its own. Although other object recognition systems exist, the Evolution-Constructed Features algorithm is notable in that it decides for itself what features of an object are significant for identifying the object and is able to learn new objects without human intervention."
