Chris Stauffer · 2002
One common characteristic of all intelligent life is continuous perceptual input. A decade ago, simply recording and storing a a few minutes of full frame-rate NTSC video required special hardware. Today, an inexpensive personal computer can process video in real-time tracking and recording information about multiple objects for extended periods of time, which fundamentally enables this research.
