Computer vision
Widespread crime and the rise of global terrorism have meant that security systems need to incorporate sophisticated and rapid computer recognition of human faces, as delegates will hear next week at the British Machine Vision Conference being held at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Another side of the same coin is in making human faces that... view more... (2003-09-02)
University footballers in training for World Cup
Staff in the University of Plymouth`s School of Computing and Department of Communication & Electronic Engineering (DCEE) are busy preparing to represent England in the FIRA 2002 (International Federation of Robot Soccer Associations) Robot Football World Cup, taking place in Korea next week. The University team, widely acknowledged as the... view more... (2002-05-17)
Research has shed light on the computer frustrations that plague older adults
A number of evolving social changes highlight the importance of making computer technology accessible and usable for older adults. For instance, older adults are using email increasingly to keep up their social contact with others and are using the Internet to look up health information. view more (2007-03-19)
Choosing the wood using artificial vision
Amongst the TR+D projects financed by the Basque Government INTEK programme, the IT Department at CIDEMCO, in conjunction with the CEIT Centre of Technology, the CVC company, and furniture manufacturers BIOK, XEY and DANONA, have finished the final phase of the development of an artificial vision system for the formulation of colorants for the... view more...

Test for visual acuity could aid detection, rehabilitation of AMD
A computer-based method for evaluating the eye's ability to distinguish object details and shape in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) could provide a more accurate way to assess the effectiveness of eye surgery or vision rehabilitation interventions with devices and training, according to a Canadian study. view more (2007-10-30)
Human eye inspires advance in computer vision from Boston College researchers
Inspired by the behavior of the human eye, Boston College computer scientists have developed a technique that lets computers see objects as fleeting as a butterfly or tropical fish with nearly double the accuracy and 10 times the speed of earlier methods. view more (2009-06-18)
Seeing Through the Skin
Feeling blue? According to Prof. Leonid Yaroslavsky from Tel Aviv University, the saying may be more than just a metaphor. view more (2008-09-12)
New Study Indicates Radiologists Need Standards to Ensure Optimal Visual Accuracy
Radiologists, like professional pilots for example, depend on good vision as part of their occupation. However, radiologists unlike pilots are not required to undergo regular vision testing. view more (2009-06-10)
More effective treatment identified for common childhood vision disorder
Scientists have found a more effective treatment for a common childhood eye muscle coordination problem called convergence insufficiency (CI). view more (2008-10-16)
Near vision research study
The Cornea and Laser Eye Institute is participating in a research study to determine if an investigational corneal inlay can safely and effectively reduce the need for reading glasses. Dr. Peter Hersh, the study doctor, will perform the procedures. view more (2009-11-06)
Because cleaner grains make finer flour
A new computer program devised by British physicists can quickly spot tiny beetles, rodent droppings and ergot (a poisonous mould) in grain destined for flour and bread manufacture. The researchers reveal details of their work today in the Institute of Physics journal Measurement Science and Technology. Professor Roy Davies and his colleagues in... view more... (2002-10-31)
MIT retinal implant could help restore some vision
MIT engineers have designed a retinal implant for people who have lost their vision from retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration, two of the leading causes of blindness. view more (2009-09-24)
Vision restoration therapy shown to improve brain activity in brain injured patients
Columbia University Medical Center researchers have demonstrated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that brain activity was increased in stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors who underwent Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT), a rehabilitative treatment that helps these patients recover lost vision. view more (2007-08-14)
MIT: Computer vision may not be as good as thought
For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers. view more (2008-01-25)
New device may improve vision and mobility for people with tunnel vision
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, say a visual aid they invented promises to improve the visual abilities of people with tunnel vision. view more (2006-08-30)
University of Manchester develops vision chip for new generation of 'human' robots
The University of Manchester is to help develop a new generation of robots with 'human' instincts. view more (2005-05-18)
Human vision inadequate for research on bird vision
The most attractive male birds attract more females and as a result are most successful in terms of reproduction. This is the starting point of many studies looking for factors that influence sexual selection in birds. view more (2008-05-13)
Can we 'learn to see?': Study shows perception of invisible stimuli improves with training
Although we assume we can see everything in our field of vision, the brain actually picks and chooses the stimuli that come into our consciousness. view more (2009-10-22)
Carnegie Mellon system estimates geographic location of photos
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised the first computerized method that can analyze a single photograph and determine where in the world the image likely was taken. It's a feat made possible by searching through millions of GPS-tagged images in the Flickr online photo collection. view more (2008-06-19)
Ground-breaking research to develop 'conscious' robot
Researchers at the Universities of Essex and Bristol will soon be launching a ground-breaking project to develop a 'conscious' robot. The aim of the project, which involves computer scientists and neuropsychologists, is to advance the technology of intelligent machines, while also extending the understanding of human consciousness. Owen Holland,... view more... (2003-08-22)
