Google with Movidius make our smartphone smarter. A human being can now ‘instantly recognize objects in a room and quantify even the telephone, one day, may do so. More specifically, the cameras in our smartphones may soon be equipped with the technology of machine learning (machine learning) which may help users in many situations.
In the future still not well defined, but still close, will be our smartphone directly, and not an application, to recognize our face or object that is part of the camera. In fact, Google is working with the start-up Movidius, specializing in chip to integrate the technology of image recognition and faces directly in phones, in hardware and not software. It ‘as reported by the Wall Street Journal .
Movidius worked with Google on the first one of the famous projects of Google, Tango Project. Using a set of cameras and sensors, the technology Movidius in Project Tango allows devices to create three-dimensional maps of the interior spaces, such as the kitchen or the living room of a house. Therefore, future smartphones could have the ability to not only know where they are, but also where they travel in space in an indoor environment (technology useful for indoor navigation).
This new collaboration between Movidius and Google is not part of a project that has been given a name, but potentially used to develop a chip to integrate hardware in phones of the future so that they are able to understand what they’re looking through the camera – literally imagine that the camera of a smartphone will be the eye of the device, able to figure out who or what is in front.
In some ways, this ability to recognize images and faces in Android devices is already ‘available, only that it is in level of software, contained in an application. The Google Photos already recognizes people and objects that are in the photos, which associates the tag based on what ‘is found and so the files – then you can easily find all the photos taken in New York looking’ Cnew york ‘as a keyword. The application of Amazon, however, allows you to search products in the catalog simply by framing camera with the product you want to search.
The evaluation of artificial emotions through human faces is a hot topic among companies Silicon Valley, especially in the last two years. Companies like Facebook and Google have invested heavily in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image recognition. Facebook, for example, has experienced a facial recognition technology: a feature that scans a user’s photos and suggests friends who find in them so it should tag, while another feature scans the smartphone’s camera roll to find photos with friends on the social network. Facebook also released Moments, an application that allows users to organize their photos by grouping them by event and friends.
One of the disadvantages of today’s technology image recognition software level is that the device must It is connected to the Internet to communicate with external servers because the workload for information processing is heavy. Today the whole process of analysis does not take place locally on the phone, but everything happens outside, so the data collected by the phone is sent via the Internet to the server where it is processed and then the information returned in your device (and here you could also open a separate chapter on privacy).
The technology Movidius could enclose the learning ability of a machine in a small chip that can be installed within the body of a smartphone. These chips will give the next generation devices autonomous capability to collect data through the camera, process them locally on the device and then return to the user the information they want in a time almost immediately.
But in practice, what we can do thanks to the technology of Movidius? By simulating the human brain, the technology will allow mobile devices to perform identify objects in real time with no internet usages ranging from the permit financial transactions to support blind people.
Among how many years we will see this intelligence on our smartphones do not know. “This collaboration is going to lead to a new generation of devices that Google will launch. It will be launched in the not too far away,” said the CEO of Movidius, Remi El-Ouazzane, techtimes .
