The blogosphere seems to have erupted over a machine vision start-up called “Vitamin d”, and I’m not immune to the fuss. (Thanks are due to “The Eponymous Pickle” and “ReadWriteStart” for alerting me to this company.)
What they are offering, or maybe just promising, is a video analytics tool that provides the ability to search video for people, figures or any particular object of interest. Clearly this is aimed at the security and surveillance world, where there’s a need to review hours of data to detect a specific event, or trigger an alarm based on something happening. In that regard, it seems that the underlying “Hierarchical Temporal Memory” technology is motion detection on steroids, but I can’t help wondering how if this has any industrial applications.
Visit “vitamin d,” watch their video, then let me know what you think.
