Researchers at Cornell University have developed an optical neural network (ONN) that can filter relevant information from a scene before the visual image is detected by a camera. The method will enable faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient image sensors. Researchers in the lab of assistant professor of applied and engineering physics Peter McMahon demonstrated ONN pre-processors that achieved compression ratios of up to 800 to 1 — the equivalent of compressing a 1600-pixel input to just 2 pixels — while still enabling high accuracy across several representative...Read full article

    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    computer vision
    Computer vision enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data, such as images and videos. It involves the development of algorithms, techniques, and systems that enable machines to gain an understanding of the visual world, similar to how humans perceive and interpret visual information. Key aspects and tasks within computer vision include: Image recognition: Identifying and categorizing objects, scenes, or patterns within images. This involves training...
