"Engineers are making progress with the old problem of getting computers to recognise what they are looking at
A PICTURE may be worth a thousand words, but as far as a computer is concerned it is worth exactly none. One of the biggest impediments to the web-video revolution has been computers' reluctance to understand images. To a microprocessor, a photograph of James Bond might as well depict a cat in a tree. That can make tracking down a video on the web or searching through a film archive a painstaking task, unless someone has written a full and accurate description of each item being examined. Anyone who has tried to find a clip on YouTube will know how rare that is."
