Researchers leverage shadows to model 3D scenes, including objects blocked from view
Imagine driving through a tunnel in an autonomous vehicle, but unbeknownst to you, a crash has stopped traffic up ahead. Normally, youโd need to rely on the car in front of you to know you should start braking. But what if your vehicle could see around the car ahead and apply the brakes even sooner?…

New algorithm unlocks high-resolution insights for computer vision
Imagine yourself glancing at a busy street for a few moments, then trying to sketch the scene you saw from memory. Most people could draw the rough positions of the major objects like cars, people, and crosswalks, but almost no one can draw every detail with pixel-perfect accuracy. The same is true for most modern…

Researchers enhance peripheral vision in AI models
Peripheral vision enables humans to see shapes that arenโt directly in our line of sight, albeit with less detail. This ability expands our field of vision and can be helpful in many situations, such as detecting a vehicle approaching our car from the side. Unlike humans, AI does not have peripheral vision. Equipping computer vision…

Image recognition accuracy: An unseen challenge confounding todayโs AI
Imagine you are scrolling through the photos on your phone and you come across an image that at first you canโt recognize. It looks like maybe something fuzzy on the couch; could it be a pillow or a coat? After a couple of seconds it clicks โ of course! That ball of fluff is your…

A pose-mapping technique could remotely evaluate patients with cerebral palsy
It can be a hassle to get to the doctorโs office. And the task can be especially challenging for parents of children with motor disorders such as cerebral palsy, as a clinician must evaluate the child in person on a regular basis, often for an hour at a time. Making it to these frequent evaluations…
