Detection algorithms help computers find humans, or anything else, in YouTube videos or surveillance footage
Imagine running a Google search for basketball videos, and having your computer sift through actual footage of online videos rather than just the text of the descriptions. A new type of software could enable computers to run searches inside videos, and pick out humans and objects alike.
Such detection software could go beyond Internet searches. Intelligent video surveillance might automatically send out alerts if cameras spot an injured or falling person, and car computers could make vehicles stop if a human figure looms ahead on the road.
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.
