Computer scientists from the University of Bonn have developed software that can look a few minutes into the future. The program first learns the typical sequence of actions, such as cooking, from video sequences. Based on this knowledge, it can then accurately predict in new situations what the chef will do at which point in time. Researchers will present their findings at the world’s largest Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, which will be held June 19-21 in Salt Lake City, USA.
