Multimedia search engines


Worked with Malcolm Hudson:
“Pattern recognition is the art of being able to look at raw data and categorizing it into one of available classes.  This task of detecting, describing and recognizing visual patterns has lead to advances in automating several tasks like optical character recognition, scene analysis, finger print, identification, face recognition etc.”
We searched for pages that talked about pattern recognition and the ones we found more reliable were:
Wikipedia talked more about the general pattern recognition and the other page was a search made by Rama Chellappa, Ashok Veeraraghavan, and Gaurav Aggarwal from the University of Maryland. In the introduction they talked about how pattern recognition works in videos and how it will be possible for it to be used in the future. The page then has some more interesting things on how it works and how it captures people facial expressions and looks.
We also searched for “augmented reality” to see what it was and how it worked. We found a site that explained precisely what augmented reality means.
The page says that “Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.”
“Virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one”
“With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable”
The page explains very clearly what augmented reality is and its possible fundamental use in the future, there is almost no need to explain in an easier way of what augmented reality means since the author has done a very simple explanation of its meaning.
