Vision Demos

This demonstration application illustrates how Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) can be applied to video recognition. The HTM network in this demo has been trained to locate people in surveillance video footage. You can see how the HTM operates by experimenting with the sample videos that are bundled with this application. For each video, the application will process it in real time on your machine and track the locations of people and other moving objects, while correctly discriminating between the two.

HTM networks can be applied to a wide variety of different problems in image and video recognition.

This demonstration application, called Vision4, gives a sense of how Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) performs in recognizing objects in static images.

At the Numenta HTM workshop in June 2008, we released an example of a NuPIC vision application that was similar to Vision4. We are releasing the Vision4 demo for two reasons. First, we have structured Vision4 as a self contained application, allowing non-technical people to install and use it, unlike the prior release, which required programming skills. Second, we have made improvements to the accuracy of the included HTM network. As a result, Vision4 performs much better than the workshop release.
