************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Identical Twins Crack Face Recognition Puzzle Two identical-twin computer whiz-kids have created a novel method for facial recognition. The Russian-born twins were given the assignment as part of their masters' degree in electrical engineering at Technion Institute, a university in Haifa, Israel. Their approach is to map the face as a three-dimensional surface. Most current commercial systems rely on two-dimensional images. The twins solution could potentially provide far more accurate reference than current technology. Alex and Michael Bronstein created the prototype using building blocks for facial recognition already developed by their professor, Ron Kimmel of Technion Institute. They have already applied for U.S. patents for the technology. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=2350687 *********************************************************** LITERACY IDEATION SCAFFOLDING Evolution of Language, How the Brain Works, Old Pedagogy Problems to New Pedagogy Solutions Sync Sense, Social Rhythm Research Experts Connections : Speech, Music, Reading, & Technology Motivation, Play, Culturally Relevant Content Using Multiple Intelligences and different learning styles http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Literacy/default.asp *********************************************************** ************************************************************** The Net Happenings mailing list is a service of Educational CyberPlayGround - http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/ ************************************************************** If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or would like to sponsor the Net Happenings service - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/Subguidelines.html> Subscribe | Unsubscribe | Change Email Preferences - <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/NetHappenings.html> **************************************************************
