LOS ANGELES, December 22, 2005 — HRL has developed algorithms and software for identifying the presence and location of humans and other objects in real time video by recognizing their shape. Unlike most other methods, HRL's technology does not use motion of the objects in the algorithms. Therefore, detection from a moving video camera is no more difficult then from a stationary camera. The detection accuracy for humans is on the order of 98%. Novel biologically inspired search algorithms are used to rapidly find humans and other objects in a scene. The software will be shown April 5-7, 2006 at ICS West at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Las Vegas.
