Researchers from MIT have developed an image dataset that simulates peripheral vision in machine learning models, improving their object detection capabilities. However, even with this modification, the AI models still fell short of human performance. The researchers discovered that size and visual clutter, factors that impact human performance, largely did not affect the AI's ability.…

Peripheral vision, most humans' mechanism to see objects not directly in their line of sight, although with less detail, does not exist in AI. However, researchers at MIT have made significant progress towards this by developing an image dataset to simulate peripheral vision in machine learning models. The research indicated that models trained with this…

MIT researchers are replicating peripheral vision—a human's ability to detect objects outside their direct line of sight—in AI systems, which could enable these machines to more effectively identify imminent dangers or predict human behavior. By equipping machine learning models with an extensive image dataset to imitate peripheral vision, the team found these models were better…

Peripheral vision, the ability to see objects outside of our direct line of sight, has been simulated by researchers at MIT to be used with AI technology. Unlike human vision, AI lacks the capability to perceive peripherally. Enhancing AI with this ability could greatly enhance its proactivity in identifying threats, and could even predict if…

A team from MIT has created an image dataset aimed at simulating peripheral vision in machine learning models, a characteristic which AI typically lacks. This could improve the models' ability to recognise approaching threats and predict whether a human driver would spot an oncoming object. In experiments, these models improved in terms of hazard detection,…
