Emerging Images (SIGGRAPH Asia 2009)

Emergence refers to the unique human ability to aggregate information from seemingly meaningless pieces, and to perceive a whole that is meaningful. This special skill of humans can constitute an effective scheme to tell humans and machines apart.

neat stuff...agree with kinglsulgard though

@ocosteau PS event when it CAN break the movie down to the moving image alone, then you still need a serious object recognition system to verify what the image actually is. And that doesn't exist yet eather.

Even google uses humans to categorize images. (Via games)

@ocosteau That's the problem dude, software can't do this properly yet.

And if you watch the movie, you can see that the tracker software DOES analyze the video and not the images itself. But it is hard for software to know which parts are important and which aren't. And they ALL move.

The only problem is that it probably takes a lot of processor power to create such captcha systems. Or they should have been created in advance? But in that case, their aren't that many available captcha and the system will fail too because the computer can just guess, or even make a list of available video captchas and their correct match.

Great Idea! But it just seem like you are using a crappy tracker software. It look as though the tracking is done on individual images, when in fact it is clear that it has to be analyzed as a time sequence. With variation in the size of the time steps...

Interesting concept. Wonder if and when this might get implemented.
