Computers’ ability to recognise and respond to visual stimuli is coming within reach, thanks to the MCCOOP project team. Their work will extend studies on how visual nerve cells perceive the shape, position and movement of objects, and use this information to develop multi-channel computer visual systems. These will be tested using images of rapidly changing scenes, like those observed by a car driver, but will ultimately have countless industrial  applications, such as quality control and security.
