New Technique Improves Accuracy of Computer Vision Technologies

June 28, 2016

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that improves the ability of computer vision technologies to better identify and separate objects in an image, a process called segmentation.

Image processing and computer vision are important for multiple applications, from autonomous vehicles to detecting anomalies in medical imaging.

Computer vision technologies use algorithms to segment, or outline the objects, in an image. For instance, separating the outline of a pedestrian against the backdrop of a busy street.

These algorithms rely on defined parameters – programmed values – to segment images. For example, … Read More → "New Technique Improves Accuracy of Computer Vision Technologies"
