Automated recognition of online images.

An international team of computer scientists has developed a new 
image-recognition software. They found that 256 to 1,024 bits of data 
were enough to identify the subject of an image. The researchers said 
this 'could lead to great advances in the automated identification of 
online images and, ultimately, provide a basis for computers to see like 
humans do.' As an example, they've stored about 13 million images picked 
on the Web and stored them in a searchable database of just 600 
megabytes. The researchers added that using such small amounts of data 
per image makes it possible to search for similar pictures through 
millions of images on your PC in less than a second. But read more...
