Shi and Malik developed an algorithm useful in this field which uses normalized cuts in order to perform segmentation.
[MODERATOR NOTE: Please read the prompt line before reading the tossup]A technique used in this specific field was improved to reduce errors in the accumulator through Fernandes and Oliveira's KHT method. Richard Szeliski wrote the standard textbook for this field. Shi and Malik developed an algorithm useful in this field which uses normalized cuts in order to perform segmentation. Dana Ballard generalized a voting-based technique in this field, the Hough transform. In 2015, researchers at Baidu were caught cheating at the ILSVRC, an annual competition in this field. A (*) mask or kernel might be applied to make one task in this field easier. Features for classification problems in this field often are constructed by using edge and blob detection. Researchers in this field often make use of the ImageNet database and the OpenCV libraries. For 10 points, name this AI task that can involve detecting objects in a video or image.
