If you find difficulty detecting the objects such as cars and other vehicles on a busy road, the new computer model designed by neuroscientists at MIT could help you in the case. The new biologically inspired vision systems help the human vision system to recognize a fastidious type of object.
Tomaso Poggio, codirector of Leeds University in the UK said:
Teaching a computer to classify objects has proved much harder than was originally anticipated. On the one hand, to recognize a particular type of object, such as a car, a computer needs a template or computational representation specific to that particular object. Such a template enables the computer to distinguish a car from objects in other classes–noncars.
Currently, the system has been developed to scrutinize still image sonly but they are working to create a system that will handle video too. Such biological vision systems could probably be used in surveillance systems, smart sensors to alert drivers of the impediments, and in the development of visual search engines.
