Stanford Researchers Create Computer Vision Algorithm for Describing Visual Scenes From: Campus Technology - 11/20/2014 Researchers at Stanford University have created a computer vision algorithm that can analyse an unknown image and describe it using words and phrases. While previous computer vision algorithms have been able to identify individual objects in pictures, this new algorithm takes the next step of telling a basic story about the image, such as "cat sits on keyboard" or "girl rides on horse in field." Since the majority of Internet traffic is visual data, this new computer vision algorithm could improve online search tools, according to a news release from Stanford. Article comment by Acacia: "You're missing a huge application for this and one that will definitely generate headlines given recent news: the accessibility benefits this poses to people who are blind or have vision impairments."
