Image Matching
Let's first write a simple Image Recognition Model using Inception V3 and Keras
Let's first write a simple Image Recognition Model using Inception V3 and Keras The goal of the inception module is to act as a "multi-level feature extractor" by computing 1 1, 3 3, and 5 5 convolutions within the same module of the network -- the output of these filters are then stacked along the channel dimension and before being fed into the next layer in the network. The original incarnation of this architecture was called GoogLeNet, but subsequent manifestations have simply been called Inception vN where N refers to the version number put out by Google. What are we going to Detect? What does this Image say to a Computer?
Artificial Intelligence: Computer Vision and Image Recognition - Quytech Blog
Artificial Intelligence generated many possibilities which enhanced the understanding power of human. Today AI has become the foundation of the trending technologies in the market. When it comes about processing visual information AI is helping in identifying specific objects or categorizing images based on their content. Artificial Intelligence can also execute image recognition with the use of computer vision to communicate with humans. AI communications includes to understand the human gestures and then react accordingly. AI computer vision and image recognition is meant to achieve a specific goal by communicating with humans by recognizing surroundings.
Google Lens comes to image search in the US
Back in September, Google promised to bring Lens to image search -- now, the feature is live in the US for English language queries. The object recognition techology can help you find out more about particular items within a photo you're looking at. If you want to try it out, do a Google search on mobile and go to the Images tab. Say, you want to look for a new sofa -- simply search for "sofas," go to Images and tap on one of the results. You'll find the new Lens icon underneath the photo next to the Share option, and tapping it will make dots appear on objects you can explore further.
Compressively Sensed Image Recognition

Compressive Sensing (CS) theory asserts that sparse signal reconstruction is possible from a small number of linear measurements. Although CS enables low-cost linear sampling, it requires non-linear and costly reconstruction. Recent literature works show that compressive image classification is possible in CS domain without reconstruction of the signal. In this work, we introduce a DCT base method that extracts binary discriminative features directly from CS measurements. These CS measurements can be obtained by using (i) a random or a pseudo-random measurement matrix, or (ii) a measurement matrix whose elements are learned from the training data to optimize the given classification task. We further introduce feature fusion by concatenating Bag of Words (BoW) representation of our binary features with one of the two state-of-the-art CNN-based feature vectors. We show that our fused feature outperforms the state-of-the-art in both cases.

Demystifying AI and machine learning for executives
In this interview, Tamim Saleh cuts through the hype around artificial intelligence with guidance for executives about where and how to employ AI in their businesses. In this episode of our Inside the Strategy Room podcast, senior partner Tamim Saleh cuts through the hype around artificial intelligence (AI) and offers clear guidance for executives looking to make precise strategic decisions about where and how to employ AI in their businesses. Tamim shares insights on the impact of machine vision on AI, the future of voice recognition, and the latest developments in advanced analytics, virtual assistants, and robotics. He outlines the challenges companies face when adopting AI and the steps CEOs can take to overcome them. Tamim is a senior partner in our London office, and he is with me at our Global CFO Forum, where he's speaking about AI and machine learning. Tamim, one of the things you've talked about is the notion of five different developments of AI. Tamim Saleh: Machine learning and AI are limited by the fact that when we input data as humans, first of all we are slow, and we make mistakes. One of the fastest-growing technologies is capturing data through image analytics and cameras. And the beauty of this is, cameras don't make the same mistakes we do, because they capture things the way they are, and they don't see the world the same way that we do. In fact, the spectrum is much wider than what we see. It includes infrared, et cetera.
Sotheby's acquires Thread Genius to build its image recognition and recommendation tech – TechCrunch
Every company today is a tech company, a maxim that was proven out today when one of the world's oldest and biggest art auction houses acquired an AI startup. Sotheby's has bought Thread Genius, which has built a set of algorithms that can both instantly identify objects and then recommend images of similar objects to the viewer. Sotheby's' said it is not disclosing the value of the deal but said it was non-material to the company. Thread Genius was a relatively young company, founded in 2015 and making a debut last year as part of TechStars New York's Winter 2017 cohort. Co-founders Andrew Shum and Ahmad Qamar, who were also Thread Genius's only two employees, were both engineering alums from Spotify.

IBM created software using NYPD images that can search for people by SKIN COLOR, report claims
From 2012 to 2016, the New York City Police Department supplied IBM with thousands of surveillance images of unaware New Yorkers for the development of software that could help track down people'of interest,' a shocking report claims. IBM's technology was designed to match stills of individuals with specific physical characteristics, including clothing color, age, gender, hair color, and even skin tone, according to The Intercept. Internal documents and sources involved with the program cited by the report reveal IBM released an early iteration of its video analytics software by 2013, before improving its capabilities over the following years. The report adds to growing concerns on the potential for racial profiling with advanced surveillance technology. From 2012 to 2016, the New York City Police Department supplied IBM with thousands of surveillance images of unaware New Yorkers for the development of software that could help track down people'of interest,' a shocking report claims According to the investigation by The Intercept and the Investigative Fund, the NYPD did not end up using IBM's analytics program as part of its larger surveillance system, and discontinued it by 2016.
