Machine vision can assist
Machine vision provides a unique capability for understanding human actions. Based on a passive sensing technology, it allows for the coverage of large areas with a single sensor, without need for physical contact. Professor Matti Pietik'¤inen is in charge of the machine vision research team whose... view more (2005-04-07)

Possible Hepatitis C vaccine
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infects up to 500,000 people in the UK alone, many of the infections going undiagnosed. It is the single biggest cause of people requiring a liver transplant in Britain.   view more (2007-09-06)
