Last week in the Conference on Multimedia Retrieval, in Dallas in Texas, new software attracted a lot of attention. Discovered by Abhinav Dhall, an Indian scientist, this software has the unique technique of picking out photos from an album and giving it a mood tag. Abhinav Dhall at the Australian National University in Canberra used this software and analyzed the smiles of a group. There is a face tracking software that does this just by observing nine spots on their faces. These spots are the eyes, corners of the mouth and other such vital places. Abhinav Dhall also said that just by looking at a sequence of frames in a video, one could find out how the mood of the crowd is in actual time. if the mood score reduces, then it means that the group is getting angry, if it increases, then the group is getting happy.

“New Scientist” reports that a machine learning algorithm uses this information and gives each face a particular individual score. The system is also so programmed that volunteers could be incorporated to give information and asked to assess how important the intensity score of the smile of an individual is to structure the overall mood score of the photo. It was seen that those who stood in the middle of the picture were given a stronger weight and those whose faces were partially not visible were not as influential to the total mood score. The system was just around 7% less than the actual opinion of a human. The system thus is aiming to come to a situation where the mood of the group could be assessed from a single shot.

So now pick out all your photos run this new software through them, to get the mood intensity score of the pictures. Is it not a wonderful discovery?

Photography is no longer an uncategorized hobby, it is soon going to be part of new software, which analyses photos and gives them a mood score.

As we all know, the Tomb Raider reboot is here and is made for PC, PS3 and XBOX 360, yet well down to an extent is much better than the previous avatar, reclining a clean image elusive of sex and all.

Lest of the clutters, we had observed, Tomb Raider reboot shows climbing sequence of Lara Croft in the latter part of game rather than initial durations unlikely to rivals, even though not creating a spoilsport for Crystal Dynamics at all. The overall sequence is shot in a completely tense situation and chilly winds make them more lucrative to watch for the clinching factors. A lot of excitement is also included in the trivia too, but Lara Croft crosses it all in her frugal stride! Meanwhile, just watch it yourself in this posted video.

It is reported that the technology giant Apple is presently developing a new technology to enable the iPhones to be unlocked using the fingerprints of the owner. Apparently Apple plans to launch a new iPhone which will include this technology. Not to be left behind numerous other manufacturers are also conducting research about the means to include iris scanning and voice recognition for the same.

Sources reveal that since the last one year Apple has been conducting extensive research to figure out how to implement the fingerprint recognition technology and incorporate it in their cellphones. Apparently Apple had also purchased the biometric security firm ‘AuthenTec’ by paying around 235 million pounds. It is likely that the results will be visible with the launch of the new iPhone S5.

Incidentally earlier Samsung too had incorporated a ‘Face Unlock’ feature in its phones with the launch of Galaxy S III, but there were major glitches as the camera would get unlocked in case the phone detected a photograph of the owner. Apparently, the makers claim to have modified this drawback and the results were evident with the Galaxy S4 which was launched in New York in the previous week.

Contradicting to those accusations, Iran said, nuclear program does possess not any military aim.

A question over here arises that how soon will Iran be able to use a nuclear weapon? This query is pinching every official of America as well as Israel, that’s because, if the Iran is just a few steps behind the completion then it would also become a powerful one in the region just like others. The acclaiming period of one year is an argument of Israeli militarily officials who says, in actual, Iran maybe not be having more than 240 kg of medium-pure uranium, so from there, 365 days are more than enough to derive a bomb out of it.

On the negotiation grounds, Obama is betting heavily on sanctions and sabotage with a very small window for diplomatic measures. He had also cleared that, administration will not wait forever.

Lastly, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime minister of Israel says, “If we can resolve it diplomatically that is a more lasting solution,” which is very true in all the sense!

Rowson’s rating goes with ‘Killzone Shadow Fall’, ‘Watch Dogs’ and ‘DriveClub’, which may not sound cool to many but is actually proving a cakewalk for Sony to ride in.

Expectations stands strong with ‘Watch Dogs’ because, rumors say that it may also land on the Microsoft’s futuristic paddock soon in near future; while the remaining duos namely ‘KIllzone’ and ‘DriveClub’ to maintain exclusivity for PS 4 itself.

‘DriveClub’ was not up to the mark in initial stage but had gained good foothold in the latter half.

Time will only conclude Microsoft’s answers to such fringes!

This meeting will be held inside the Situation Room of White House, and would derive inputs from both of the sides namely private and government. In this case, government will seek help of the enterprises to improve their falling cyber framework.

This cyberspace offence is not only worrying Americans but also hampering the growing economic relations of US and China. To curb down the number of such crimes, Obama had also signed an executive order for directing federal authorities to intervene in this matter and take stern action for filling that cyberspace loopholes. This order had made the job easier for government officials to encourage private enterprises for setting up their own security systems.

Lastly, lawmakers at Capitol Hill are too on the discussion spree for enhancing relations between companies and government so that ideas can be exchanged from both sides which will prove beneficiary in this anti-offensive workout.
