Verso: Watch political leaders TV-rankings in real-time

Verso is an AI-experiment with computer vision software to monitor any type of media (TV, YouTube, Instagram, cams) and analyze the impact. This is a really interesting project made by some russians hackers. It allows us to analyse the TV-coverage of world political leaders. They use computer vision: "Our system takes snapshots of every covered channel at the rate of one per second. All detected faces then go through the computer vision processing tool to see if there is a target person. Thanks to the Russian math school, our algorithms are able to tell in a matter of milliseconds if a person on screen is the one from the list, even when image is blurred or face - turned away. Thus stats that we show are real-time. The points you see in front of each political figure equal the amount of times one was detected on screen; the percentage figures show one’s share among all the people analysed."
