Although Real Time is a vague definition, Its safe to say that a frame every 4/10s of a second equals 2.5 frames a second.
No where near 30 frames a sec, which is the classical notion of "Real Time". Not to be a nit pick but if I claimed that I was doing work at real time speeds and was in fact 2.5 fps, I'd be laughed out of Computer Science circles forever.
Also.4 Frames a sec???? is the real headline? Thats even worse(1 Frame per 2.5 secs!) so I think the "real time" claim is very bogus and should be withdrawn regardless of the correction.
Some people have written quantum computer programs to search a database. It will solve an NP complete search task. Which is of course impossible right? Wrong. The language is and will be nothing like classical logical languages for which you use today.
Yes finally I say. The most extraordinary thing about the focus of quantum physics now is the theory that the mind is a quantum effect! Conciousness is a quantum effect! This is a tremendous and extrodinary theory which will go down as unparalleled in scientific history if proven. The fact is, if proven, this means your conciousness lives on! You can explore multiple universes as your conciousness is embedded as a quantum particle. Sorry for the bangs but this is extrordinary. Not to mention the fact that a quantum brain or mind will have almost unlimited computational power. You are a multi dimensional being with the computaional power of a quantum computer. Living out your lives in all the probable universes. Such knowledge is the goal of science and the human experience. The world changes drastically at that point. This should be heralded. This is truly a great experiment and finally we are geting close to it!
If everybody did it, then you would not stick out would you? Its not far off now. At the company I worked at previously we had to ask people to remove their baseball caps. Since the cameras were high up, it was good defense against face detection.
I agree. This is a matter of law. But until law is made, defense may be necessary. The old problem is that this is a great technology when used responsibly. It can be a terible nightmare if used to enslave people.
Personally I'm in the business to create AI, games VR out of it. Of course evil companies like Visionics will always take advantage of technlogies for their own greedy purposes.
You are a criminal they just haven't allocated the resources to catch you yet.
For those who think that this is just for so called crimials. Just remeber that the system will detect and save ALL faces criminal or not in its database with a time stamp and a location. So maybe the gov will find a reason to accuse you later and then simply query the computers as to your where abouts for the last five years. Also so far the system works worse than a dog trained to bark at a bag. It hasn't had many hits, but lots of false alarms, which means that innocent people got searched without a warrant! It will get more accurate and faster, but right now there needs to be laws that are based on the actual "correctness" of the system. The actual correctness is almost complete failure in MHO at the moment.

I have worked in the face detection and recognition business. I think its time to show people how they might be able to defeat the system. In england such a defense system to your identity is highly desired because almost every sqr foot of london is covered by face detectors. Actually the system is so error prone that its really a piece of cake to defeat it. Simple hats and big sun glasses pretty much keep you anonymous. iridescent surfaces will reek havoc with the algorithms also. A good amount of high frequency changes in the image and it won't even detect your face anymore. The systems are appearance based and appearance based systems have trouble with multiclored high frequeny changing images. Such as sparklies on your face cause the system to have more noise in its algs. I can forsee a public revolution as people start to wear more iridescent colored glasses in larger numbers.
I plan on doing some research on the defense mechs. Right after my thesis, which will be the tool I use to help discove good defenses. I am a member of the OpenCV group on sourceforge and on Yahoogroups. I will release the tracking program as open source if possibble.
You know this brings up a paradox for the DSL providers.
If DSL cannot travel through fiber, then the more fiber laid means that much less DSL service.
Doesn't that predict the end of DSL as more and more fiber goes down.
I assume that fiber all the way to the home would be great, but it will be a while and in the mean time lots more fiber will be in the ground and hence less DSL. In fact they will have to cut off customers as they replace copper with fiber!
Hello cable stock.
Ok I've been here before.
People copied my work exacltly and the professor
simply ran a diff on all homeworks. He was ready to refer me to judiacial review when I talked him out of it. Basicaly explaining that everyone did it and this was natural in a computer class. Obviously people work together. He agree and failed me on all homeworks that showed up copied.
I basically had to get a perfect score on my final to get a B! so I did and I did. Moral here: Talk to the profesor and explain how he is about to ruin your life until he agrees hehe.
A home intelligence system would utilize Computer Vision as well as speech.
Microsoft does in fact have a group of some of the best Computer Vision people and they are working on the home idea right now.
It would be more than neural networks. NNs or good for some Vision tasks but not all necessary to track people around the house and do all the recognition aspects you would want. My company competes with MS on this although we have decided not to pursue the home thing as MS as a billion dollars in it already.

Yes we r tht bored. How bout some more informative posts then.

It depends on your universe. There is no uncertainty in the multi-verse theory of qp. You are in fact late and early at the same time. Superposition!

Sure Visionics has a tape out. They are very proud of it.
