Back in 2001, two computer scientists named Paul Viola and Michael Jones came up with a face detection algorithm called Detector Cascade. The algorithm was so simple and fast that it was built into many commercial products such as smartphones and digital cameras. We became very used to seeing that little box pop up around a person’s face when trying to take a picture. However, there were some problems with the algorithm. It was 2001 after all. The Detector Cascade could only detect a face if a person was facing the camera head-on. At any other angle, including upside down, we were out of luck. That is, until recently. Sachin […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
