Actually, an AI could determine the difference between those, based on shape, location, and opacity, etc.
Lmao now I know you’re fucking with me
Yeah lemme spend three weeks training this AI on the difference between gunsmoke, cigarette smoke, vapes, and fog in this specific alley. Oh, y’all already found the killer because someone just watched the video? Well my point stands, the AI could do it faster
Once it’s trained
In another week
Oh shit, it thought that guy’s cell phone was a gun. See you in another month!
Um, I was being completely serious. Having AI determine shapes/opaqueness is a simple matter for it. And I’m assuming the training would already be done before the event happens, over time.
You don’t think crime forensics labs won’t be training AI to do these kind of detections going forward? Really?
(Maybe its a matter of people not truly grocking what AI will do and how it will change things, going forward. /shrug)
Having an AI search for shapes an opaqueness is still totally useless for a binary search if those semi-opaque shapes happen for 10 minutes 34 minutes into an hour long video
Again, you’d just feed the whole video to an AI, you wouldn’t have it do a binary search

Well one of those shapes would happen at the time of the event though, so it’s not useless. One of those would be a gunshot smoke, and could be flagged for review.

One day, when computers and AI are powerful enough, this will be the answer, but even then I would like to think behind the scenes they would use a binary search to speed up the processing time.
The time of the event doesn’t necessarily coincide with any of the times that you’re checking. That’s the whole point of looking for visual cues. Again, if the event happens 34 minutes into the video, and it leaves AI detectable visual cues for 10 minutes, the AI will never find it using binary search. It will skip to 30 minutes, see nothing, skip to 45 minutes, see nothing, skip to 52:30, see nothing, skip to 56:15, see nothing, and fail at some point when it can’t divide the video further. Binary search would fail in this scenario. It’s not just useless, it’s an abject failure, and the AI was a waste of processing power when you could have scrubbed forward five minutes at a time instead. That would have found the visual cue, but would not be a binary search.
