Software detects motion that the human eye can’t see

Video technique could lead to remote diagnostic methods
July 24, 2012



The software process, called “Eulerian video magnification” by the MIT computer scientists who developed the program, breaks apart the visual elements of every frame of a video and reconstructs them with the algorithm, which can amplify aspects of the video that are undetectable by the naked eye.

These aspects could include the variations in redness in a man’s face caused by his pulse.
