How Deep Learning Is Advancing Video Analytics
Deep learning technologies are making it possible to process and analyze vast streams of footage. It’s an area that’s been seeing significant investment and research. Mimicking the process of the human brain, the technique uses sophisticated, multi-level, “deep” neural networks to create systems that can perform feature detection from massive amounts of unlabeled training data. Data scientists in both industry and academia are using graphics processing units (GPUs) to accelerate their deep learning algorithms. GPUs process highly parallel computing tasks —like video and graphics— quickly and efficiently.
Stanford Team Creates Computer Vision Algorithm to Describe Photos
Computer software only recently became smart enough to recognize objects in photographs. Now, Stanford researchers using machine learning have created a system that takes the next step, writing a simple story of what’s happening in any digital image. At the heart of the Stanford system are algorithms that enable the system to improve its accuracy by scanning scene after scene, looking for patterns, then using the accumulation of previously described scenes to extrapolate what is being depicted in the next unknown image.
