Newsroom - Genius of Einstein, Fourier key to new humanlike computer vision

The technique mimics how humans perceive three-dimensional shapes by instantly recognizing objects no matter how they are twisted or bent, an advance that could help machines see more like people. Here, a "heat mean signature" of a human hand model is used to perceive the six segments of the overall shape and define the fingertips.
