Illustration of a New Machine-vision Technique

Caption

Researchers developing a new machine-vision technique tested their method on certain complex shapes, including the human form or a centaur, a mythical half-human, half-horse creature. The heat mapping allows a computer to recognize the objects no matter how the figures are bent or twisted and is able to ignore "noise" introduced by imperfect laser scanning or other erroneous data.
