Interesting article off of Wired News:
Search Looks at the Big Picture

If I am interpreting this correctly – this is what we used to call image analysis – but on the fly.. that is really interesting…
“The image-processing software looks for “key patches” in an image to determine the relative positions of different shapes, such as tires and a car body, or a beach and ocean waves, to categorize the image’s contents..”
Especially promising is the other search piece… being able to search streaming media…
Something to keep an eye on…
