Computer vision gaining more popularity and with
time we could replace a human with a computer in some areas. This vision not
accurate enough, it's still not comparable to the human visual system, but in
the future, computer vision could be even better. Sometimes people don't notice
the little things in such area as medicine, where mistake could take away a
someone's life.
Watch the video above and answer the questions:
- Have you ever heard or maybe done your own program related to image classification?
- In which areas could this technology be useful?
- Would you like to try to write your own program which will recognize objects in real time?
Comments
There are dozens of such areas, autonomous car, face recognition for security and daily use, medicine etc.
Yes, it would be cool to implement a neural net which can recognize movements. In fact it is already done. But when you do it by yourself it gives you so pleasant feelings.
I've heard about image classification in the context of cars and their systems which are detecting for example speed limit signs and are warning driver that he should slow down.
I think this technology can be used almost everywhere, but I would love to see it in medicine for instance while performing an endoscopy. Recognizing some abnormalities in the human body would be something remarkable.
I believe the second question is out-of-date. This technology has many applications already. It’s used in autonomous cars, medicine, military, and civil surveillance.
As it was stated in the video, using image classification, we can build general-purpose object detection systems so number of its applications seems to be unlimited and depends only on creativity and knowledge of researchers and developers who will be using it. The most obvious are of course autonomous driving and detecting cancer cells in medical images .
Definitely, I would like to play a little bit with image processing, but I would rather start with some basic applications like classifying static images because detecting objects in real time seems to be too advanced topic to start with.
As mentioned in the video, I like the idea of using such a program in medicine, for example, to make the examination of internal organs less painful. Even in the very first minutes of the video, it seemed to me that such object recognition could help in advertising; by the principle of recognition, one can immediately understand to whom what to offer.
This is an interesting topic, I will think about it because I have never had such an idea.
This technology is very exciting field for me - right now there is a lot of research going on. People are looking for faster ways to detect objects, to classify them and later to take actions based on this classification. There are a lot of such products already used in various ways: face detection on pictures, fingerprint classification, security (CCTV analysis), medicine (cancer detection) and many many others. I hope I will be able to build new products using computer vision in near future.
Yes I heard about it before but I don't have any personal experience in dealing with this technology.
In which areas could this technology be useful?
As mentioned in the video: healthcare, self-driving cars. However, I think that this technology is already used in smartphones for face recognition. I think it could be used in such areas as military for recognizing targets or security. For example in detecting a burglar.
Would you like to try to write your own program which will recognize objects in real time?
I think that this is quite a interesting topic overall. However, I have never been really focused on it. I am more interested in other things and I would prefer to work on them.
Well, in all areas, I think. Starting from the medicine or even this funny project, that I’ve heard about some time ago, a program which can show you brands of clothing that for example a person in you favorite TV series wears and where you can buy it. Great thing!
Well, I kinda have it done already, but this program is very simple and can recognize only one object that I told it to recognize :) Again, it’s very complicated and I think it’s not for me.
This technology is already useful in a lot of areas such as medicine, self-driving cars, fingerprint detection and others.
I have already wrote few programs in image classification area and also working on two more ones. One of them is connected to my graduate work: real time detection and recognition. And the other one is connected to my work, that’s why I can’t tell you more.
2. One day it will be used in every industry possible, the methods behind image recognition can be used in differently structured problems.
3. I'd love too.
We can create for example program for blind people to recognize things and telling them what is in front of them. Second thought is creating futuristic robot which can help disabled people in home and outside.
- No, I have not done any program related to image classification, but I would really like to do something in this area.
2. In which areas could this technology be useful?
- For example, an application which recognized cars.
3. Would you like to try to write your own program which will recognize objects in real time?
- Yes, like I mentioned before I would like to do something with this technology. Because it is really interesting and would look really nice in my CV.
Yes, I'm writing an app, which use object detetction.
2. In which areas could this technology be useful?
This technology can be used to help people with low vision or completally blind.
3. Would you like to try to write your own program which will recognize objects in real time?
I'm working on application, which recognize buses and their numbers in real time.
Yes, I'd like to and maybe someday I will try to ;).
