Machines That Can See

Since the earliest days of computing, researchers have dreamed of machines that could mimic seeing the world as people see it. In that case, they'd be able to identify objects, analyze the context, and interpret what is seen. Finally, computing power and software are close to making this a reality. What are the implications? What are the emerging opportunities? What will this mean to you? We'll explain.

After more than 50 years of research, machine vision technology has recently reached the point in its dev.....
