Improving Human, Object Detection Technology in Video
Tony Han, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is working on improving how computers interpret the content of a video.
When searching for basketball videos online, a long list of websites appears, which may contain a picture or a word describing a basketball. But what if the computer could search inside videos for a basketball? Researchers at the University of Missouri are developing software that would enable computers to search inside videos, detect humans and specific objects, and perform other video analysis tasks.
“The goal of our research is to improve how computers interpret the content of a video and how to identify it,” said Tony Han, electrical and computer engineering professor in MU’s College of Engineering. “There are lots of possibilities with video-based detection, and it could come at quite a low-cost compared to object and human detection using other sensors, such as thermal sensors.” (more…)
