Watson has also received some major "vision" updates, with improved image and facial recognition.

Google is poised to tap into that growing revenue source with or without Blinkx's image and audio recognition technology, says company spokesperson Brandon McCormick.
The image retrieval and recognition are thus done simultaneously, in a single step, and it is possible to search for thousands of targets with extraordinary efficiency.
Better targeting through audio and image recognition could also improve the click-through rate of videos, or how often an ad is clicked for every time it appears.
The computer of the future, one that sips power, boots up instantly and ably handles the most complex speech and image recognition, is under construction in a handful of laboratories.
Face- and image-recognition software allow for easier tagging.

The focus of the hardware is to significantly speed up data processing for large, data crunching operations like compression, image recognition, and search functions.
GazeMetrix - The company monitors images in social media (currently focusing on Instagram) and uses image recognition technology to find brands appearing in images.
It has dozens of sub-products within it, from Google Transit (public transportation, e.g. subway, information and routing), Live Traffic, StreetView (and the incredible operation that makes that happen), Local search, image recognition technology for reading street and business signs, the list goes on and on.
These are often sensory, like image recognition, odor detection and tactile feel.
It already uses image recognition in a retail analytics application and can use this expertise to add eyes to Watson.

Some security researchers even believe that the CAPTCHA-breaking software was using Tesseract--an open source image recognition software sponsored by Google itself and used in its book-scanning projects--to recognize the distorted characters.
The imaging system also enables panorama capture, a 15 frame-per-second burst mode for 8 megapixel photos, real-time facial detection and recognition, and mobile HDR image capture with de-ghosting for clearer pictures in flight.

Applications of image processing include such popular consumer features as light balancing and face recognition, now standard on most digital cameras, which can also be associated with voice recognition.
Understanding the cognitive edges of image recognition is good training for being a smart consumer of media and content of all kinds.

Is one AR and the other (TONY Kids) just 2-D image recognition?
To analyse the new material, researchers at the University of Queensland's Global Change Institute are using image recognition software to identify the creatures recorded in the photographs, and 3D-modelling programmes to monitor how the habitats change over time.
Because the transforming and the filtering are done optically, this mechanism for pattern recognition is fast, allowing an image to be tested for the presence of a target in a single step.
The patent pre-defines a number of gestures, such as ones for facial recognition, a selection gesture and a pointing gesture (to identify a specific section of an onscreen image).
The Nikon D5200 shares an AF system, metering sensor and scene recognition with the Nikon D7000 series, giving this camera a new level of performance and much enhanced image quality.
When its image-recognition software can't interpret a passage of aged or faded text, it further distorts the image and serves it up as a CAPTCHA. That means the project not only produces an enormous output of digitized records for preservation purposes--it also filters text to find far more difficult words for computers to recognize.
