Vision-Superior Robot Trumps Humans At Rock-Paper-Scissors, Ping Pong Balls

Robotics /

For the record, I'm pretty darn amazed at how speedily and accurately the embedded vision demo co-developed by Analog Devices and BDTI accomplishes its dice-counting task: much faster and more precise than me. With that said, I'm really amazed at a robot named Janken, the Japanese word for the rock-paper-scissors game also known as roshambo. […]

Eye Scanning For Biometrics: Increasingly Unreliable Over Time, And An Image That Mimics

Biometrics /

Eye-scanning technology is becoming increasingly pervasive as a biometric technique for individual identification, both in Hollywood ("Minority Report" and other films) and in real-life (an India case study that I wrote about last September, for example, or its use by NATO troops in Afghanistan). The generic term actually encompasses two different pattern-recognition implementations: Retinal scans,
