Zdenek Kalal, a researcher at the University of Surrey, has just developed what may be the most advance vision system known to the current world. In essence, it takes the ordinary task of tracking objects to an entirely new platform, enabling users to select an object on the fly and have the algorithm immediately start tracking something new.

The system is able to maintain a lock within seconds, even if your object twists, turns, or leaves / returns. Moreover, these “objects” could be used as air mice if you force it to track your digits, and if you teach it what your staff looks like, you’ll have a fully automated security scanner that can recognize faces and grant / deny access based on its database of white-listed individuals.

Will this be the next James Bond system?
