UCLA unveils image detector that can see what people can'tFebruary 12, 2016 - 13:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - UCLA has released the source code to powerful image detection software that can see an object's every detail at high speed - key for applications like fingerprint and iris scanning, or self-driving cars, Engadget reports. It starts by identifying an object's edges and then looking for and extracting its other, fainter features. For instance, if there are items with textured surfaces in the image, the algorithm can recognize and enhance them. It can even see through bright lights to detect their sources' structures, such as lamps, LED lights and even the moon. The Phase Stretch Transform algorithm was developed by UCLA professor Bahram Jalali, senior researcher Mohammad Asghari and their team. Their project is a spin-off of the university's research on photonic time stretch that can be used to detect cancer cells. It's also the secret behind what UCLA once called the "world's fastest camera" that can capture events that happen very, very fast. The algorithm is now up and available to the public on GitHub and Matlab Central. Top stories Yerevan will host the 2024 edition of the World Congress On Information Technology (WCIT).
