5. TEACHING COMPUTERS TO RECOGNIZE IMAGES
Computers can be "taught" how to interpret images using a vocabulary of up
to 330 English words, according to researchers at Pennsylvania State
University (Penn State), so that a computer can describe a photograph of
two polo players, for example, as "sport," "people," "horse," "polo." The
system, Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Pictures-Real Time (ALIPR), makes
images visible on the Web using text tags, researchers say, by analyzing
the pixel content of images and comparing that against a stored knowledge
base of the pixel content of tens of thousands of image examples. ALIPR can
automatically annotate entire online collections of photographs as they are
uploaded, researchers say, and facilitates retrieval of images through the
use of search terms. Read more:

"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself "
