MAKING MEDIA SMART
We journos aren't going to do it, but maybe Intel can. With the horsepower of Tera-scale processors, the chip maker thinks it can enable computing devices to understand the contents of visual media in ways previously unimagined. The Intel China Research Center is developing techniques for the computational perception of people, objects, scenes and events, and is also a leading participant in the National Institute of Standards (NIST) competition on media mining. In recent months, Intel has been drumming up interest in the possibilities for media mining on ultra-mobile devices, particularly highlighting the potential usefulness of mapping and translation applications for the Internet-connected traveler.
