It sounds pretty and very gee whizz. But... what does it do? It sounds like it does the same as existing hard/software low-level vision algorithms, faster. And what they do is, well, not a lot by real world standards (and actually they do it pretty fast already).
(NB if someone knows better than me and it's really very cool, I defer in advance to their superior knowledge!)
No disrespect to Rowan, but I think slashdot articles need to more concise, better written, better edited and better presented than this. If we want an unmoderated source of amateurish rambles then we still have Usenet.
Rowan: it has a certain charm and I accept that you may go on to say something interesting, but that's an awful lot of grey text to wade through before reaching it.
Yes, it's annoying but still the thing most worth reading after Private Eye. Apart from the occasional piece of crass right-wingism, it's got the iconoclasm and tough-mindedness which I am sure is what most/.ers want. I have given up and taken out a subscription.
