CHR1S Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Wow, just wow Zdenek Kalal's object tracking algorithm learns on the fly, likely to make next 007 flick (video) -- Engadget
MK-2 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 hmmm i dunno, i guess the cynic in me thinks that a university researcher would know how to spell disabled.
cromertech Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 I think the posted date kind of gives it away.

TechMonkey Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 hmmm i dunno, i guess the cynic in me thinks that a university researcher would know how to spell disabled. I'm assuming English is his second language so that could just be an innocent mistake. My worry of using it as a security system is he shows it will pick up on photos too. So get a photo of someone allowed, hold it up to the camera and you are in!

bossman Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 This type of tracking is currently used by the armed forces for missile guidance systems and very effective it is too. It can actively interpret the surrounding area and determine if it is going to fall short of its intended target thus making the necessary changes in flight path and thus it is virtually 100% effective. I could give you the classified details of this but then I would have to kill you all.
