Neurotechnology announced SentiSight 3.0, a Software Development Kit (SDK) for universal object recognition.

The object recognition algorithms now enable an even broader range of recognition capabilities for applications as varied as manufacturing, artificial intelligence, searches for identifiable marks and even place recognition.

SentiSight provides enhanced 2D and 3D object recognition quality using still or video images from most digital cameras, including Webcams. It can detect and recognize whether a particular rigid object, such as a product, logo or building, is in a scene and identify its specific location in that scene.  …

It can handle occlusion of up to 50% as long as enough unique edges of the object are still visible. …

The new tracking algorithm provides enhanced tracking of objects in front of complex backgrounds and performs automatic, reliable tracking of fast-moving objects after they have been recognized.  …
