Trevor Paglen Quotes

Yes, iD is a machine vision and sensor browser for the physical world. That's what we have been working on with Coca-Cola, Verizon, Bank of America and Disney to launch content when an image is recognised.

In the past, Google has used teams of humans to 'read' its street address images - in essence, to render images into actionable data. But using neural network technology, the company has trained computers to extract that data automatically - and with a level of accuracy that meets or beats human operators.

One thing that humans still do better than computers is recognize images.

Computer vision and machine learning have really started to take off, but for most people, the whole idea of what is a computer seeing when it's looking at an image is relatively obscure.

The computer can do a much better job than the human eye, as it is much more systematic in analysing tissues.

I think the way we're doing computer vision is just wrong.

My system uses the speed of components in cameras and cell phones to get four inches of depth through the brain.

There is great potential to use computer vision technology in a constructive and benevolent way.

I think the automation of vision is a much bigger deal than the invention of perspective.

The research on vision machines was mainly conducted at the Stanford Research Institute in the US. So, we can say that the events that took place in the Kosovo War were a total confirmation of the thesis of The Vision Machine.

I want to build the next CNN with 'VICE' - it's within my grasp.

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

If I say 'Find me an interesting painting' to Google, someday a robot could go around the Picasso museum and take a picture for me.

You never know, the way technology is going, we might all use the games for scouting by the time I retire.

If computers remain far worse than us at image recognition, a certain over-confident combination of man and machine can elsewhere take inaccuracy to a whole new level.

People are good at figuring out what's attractive, and computers are good at quickly searching and finding. You put them together, and bang!

Some people think technology has the answers.

With the release of the Dragon sensor... I have finished my mission. I am done posting. I will no longer be the face of Red.

We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us, and when certain conditions happen, are triggered, the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.

I've always been very interested in the question of how computation can fundamentally advance the things that we can see. This led me to have a fascination with medical imaging, especially things like MRI and scanning, and eventually computer graphics.

Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.

It was a case of the technology catching up with the problem.

There’s not a single aspect of human life that doesn’t have the potential to be totally transformed by these technologies in the future.

A lot of the future of search is going to be about pictures instead of keywords. Computer vision technology is going to be a big deal.

I would have thought technology would have made it harder to do what I did.
