Researchers at the University of Central Florida have created AI technology that mimics the human eye.
Its ability to combine three different operations into one further contributes to its uniqueness. Currently available intelligent image technology, such as that found in self-driving cars, needs separate data processing, memorization, and sensing. The technology expands upon previous work by the research team that created brain-like devices that can enable AI to work in remote regions and space.
For self-driving vehicles, the versatility of the device will allow for safer driving in a range of conditions, including at night, says Molla Manjurul Islam ’17MS, the study’s lead author and a doctoral student in UCF’s Department of Physics.
