Comparing to any other new technology, visual recognition is growing fast with more than 100 different companies investing in this technology around the globe. These companies are trying to meet the increased request on a more accurate and secure technology that can be applied to many different fields in our society. Some principal application areas of visual recognition include automotive driver assistance and traffic management, Eye and Head Tracking, Film and Video: Sports analysis, General purpose vision systems, People tracking and many more. Most of these companies are still looking for more engineers and programmers to help them develop their new programs and applications. These companies are not limited to only programming and designing software, but many of them hire people to build and apply the programs to their products while other employees advertise and manage the other issues. (Lowe.D , n.d.)
Visual recognition provides very credible and accurate results, which encouraged many popular brands, such as Apple to invest in this technology and develop new programs. Phone applications are one of the most popular visual recognition fields. Using this technology allows the user to search anything just by taking a picture of the object. Other applications are used for phone, laptops, and other security systems. The usual security technologies, such as sound or the regular passwords are easy to manipulate. Expert programmers or hackers can easily enter any system and steal very important information. But with visual recognition technology, it is impossible to manipulate the results. As a result of its efficiency and trustworthiness, Visual recognition technologies are accepting a very high demand world wide even with its ear...

...umers bought roughly 16million new cars annually from 2000 to 2007, 13.945 million new cars for 2012 (Tuttle, 2012). This rate is increasing every year as people tend to buy new cars with higher quality and more technology. If visual recognition was applied in cars, not only it will increase the safety and decrease the number of deaths caused by car accidents, but it will significantly increase the profit of the developing companies. This will be a result of the high efficiency that these cars will have in comparison to other cars, which will increase the demand.
It is important to mention that in all of these fields (car industry, movies and video games), applying visual recognition technology will create a lot of jobs to engineers, programmers as well as many other specialists. This will reduce the Unemployment while increasing the economic growth of the country.
The Iris image is just captured with the standard camera by using both the visible and the infrared light either by a manual process or an automated process. The camera is placed between three and a half inches and along one meter to capture the image. In getting the manual process the user must adjust the camera to get the iris in focus which needs to be in between six to twelve inches of the camera. This process is more manual and it al...

While there have been surveys to understand how people feel about self-driving vehicles, they only surveyed a little over a thousand, which isn’t comparable to the millions of people who actually drive cars (Degroat). Many, more than 70 percent, do believe that autonomic vehicles will reduce accidents, the severity of the crash, and help the fuel economy, nearly as many are concerned about the way the car will perform under unusual or unexpected circumstances, as compared to the way a human could react and perform, along with if the vehicle would have any system malfunctions (Degroat). Even though the car companies are working on the technology to make the cars safe and dependable, it would be easy for someone to “hack” into the vehicle to steal it, or take personal information from the vehicle like where they have been and where they plan to go (Degroat). Many also wonder how well the car will do under different climate and driving circumstances; will the car’s mechanics and equipment work well in a tropical or artic like environment, or how will it interact in New York City as opposed to a very rural and rugged environment like a farm. With the sensors and cameras attached to the car, will it be able to tell the difference and respond differently among other vehicles, pedestrians, and non-motored objects on the
As stated from the studies above, the rise of automation will also cause a rise and shift in the workforce. The shift will cause lower wage jobs to be replaced by efficient machines, while creating mid to high wage jobs for the rest of the workforce. This will in turn require a higher education for jobs and encourage the society to increase the education system quality. As society advances in the future, more jobs will be available despite current scares and anxieties over a job loss trend in the labor market. The agriculture and manufacturing industries will continue to decline in the future as computer software related jobs will continue to increase due to the improvements of technology in the workplace. Automation and machine learning will cause a growth in the labor market, profiting the economy and improving the
Driverless cars have 360 degree monitoring and have the potential to save billions of dollars and thousands of lives (Brown).
Dennis Hong had an amazing idea to merge Artificial Intelligence (aka AI) to replace and aid a person with no or partial sense of sight. With the use of Cameras, IMU, GPS, and LIDARs Technology. All cars
Companies like Google, Tesla and Nissan, among others, have announced over the past few years that their companies are trying to develop self-driving or autonomous cars [Ref. 1 and 2]. Self-driving cars can provide many benefits to the average consumer. Studies have shown that because computers can react and process information many times faster than a human being, crashes on streets and roads can be decreased with quick and consistent evasion maneuvers by the autonomous car. They can also help maximize fuel economy by calculating the most direct and fastest routes. When the driving of an autonomous car demonstrates that the computer can safely and reliably transport the passengers to their destination, this frees up the passengers to do other things that they would not normally be able to do if they were driving the car manually. For this reason, self-driving cars can help maximize productivity of their passengers.
Self-driving cars are the wave of the future. There is much debate regarding the impact a self-driving car will have on our society and economy. Some experts believe fully autonomous vehicles will be on the road in the next 5-10 years (Anderson). This means a vehicle will be able to drive on the road without a driver or any passengers. Like any groundbreaking technology, there is a fear of the unforeseen problems. Therefore, there will need to be extensive testing before anyone can feel safe with a vehicle of this style on the road. It will also take time for this type of technology to become financially accessible to the masses, but again alike any technology with time it should be possible. Once the safety concern has been fully addressed
To begin, the main issue of development of Artificial Intelligence is the economic factors. Firstly, one of the main negative effects of AI on economy is unemployment. According to the suggesting of Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne of Oxford University during next 20 years 47 per cent of all USA jobs under the threat and will be replaced with intelligence machines (Vincent). If jobs will be automated, people will lose their workplaces and it is becomes one of the harmful problems not only for economy, but also for society. Because, if people will not have a workplace, they will not be able to provide their needs. Furthermore, development of AI can be a reason of increasing inequality of wages. For instance, the salaries of computer workers approximately earn 10 to 15 percent more than others. (Frey and Osborne). It is also one of the economic problems because it can lead to discontent of workers who hav...
Biometrics is defined as the unique physical characteristics or traits of human body (Jain, 2004). These characteristics and traits are used to identify each human in. Every details of the human body which differs from one human to other will be used as unique biometric data to serve as that person's unique identification in terms of retinal, iris, fingerprint, palm print and DNA. Biometric systems will collect and store this data in order to use it for verify personal identity. The combination of biometric data systems and biometric identification technologies creates the biometric security systems. The biometric security system is a lock and capture mechanism to control access to specific data. In order to access the biometric security system, an individual will need to provide their unique characteristics or traits which will be matched to a database in the system. If there is a match, the locking system will provide access to the data for the user. The locking and capturing system will activate and record information of users to accessed the data. The relationship between the biometric and biometric security system is also known as the lock and key system. The biometrics security system is the lock and biometrics is the key to open that lock (Jain, 2006).
Technology is evolving faster than ever these days, however there is one technology that could revolutionize the transportation industry. This technology is called autonomous cars, also known as self-driving cars. Autonomous cars can be defined as a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment, and navigating without human input. Using different techniques such as GPS and radar, autonomous cars can detect surroundings, thus removing the human element in driving. This would have a positive effect in more ways than we could ever imagine. Research suggests that self-driving cars will become more abundant in the future because they will be more cost-effective, enhance safety, and decrease traffic congestion.
Hand Posture and Gesture Recognition Technology This section discusses the requirements for hand posture and gesture recognition. It describes the two main solutions for collecting the required data to perform recognition, the glove-based solution and the camera- or vision-based solution, and looks at the advantages and disadvantages of each. Data Collection for Hand Postures and Gestures The first step in using hand posture and gestures in computer applications is gathering raw data. This raw data is then analyzed by using various recognition algorithms (see Section 3) to extract meaning or context from the data in order to perform tasks in the application.
...ware and Software developers and Web designers are just some of the many new employment opportunities created with the help of IT. Probably new more jobs to come in more years.
“The term -information security- means protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction” (United States Code, 2008). In order to ensure the identity of who is trying to access the information, the concept of “Biometric Technology” has been developed in the last years. This essay will start explaining this concept and the characteristics of its development through the time. Then, the essay will offer a brief explanation of biometric systems operation and a description of different biometric systems developed until now. Finally, this research analyzes the current and future applications and the issues that surround it.
... for cheap labor, while evenly adding funds to education for specialized labor. While this process is taking hold, corporations need to be incentivised to use said nation’s labor for skilled purposes. This can be undertaken through negotiations and tax incentives. Additionally, new jobs during this time will be created from investment in sustainable energy, the manufacturing of high-quality products and materials, and big data jobs. Also new outsourcing and crowdsourcing jobs will begin to develop as developed nations begin skilled labor outsourcing, not just cheap and unskilled labor outsourcing. With these new job opportunities and with increased effort by governments, the job market for skilled labor will skyrocket. Cumulatively, the adaption in this way to labor digitization will allow a state in any economic situation to grow economically for decades to come.
