\end{aligned}$$ (8) where s is the stride of the depthwise convolution, \(\oplus\) denotes element-wise addition, and the shortcut is omitted when dimensions differ.
Two stride-2 blocks reduce spatial size by a factor of four, yielding \(F_{1,\text {out}} \in \mathbb {R}^{H/8 \times W/8 \times 16}\).
A stride-2 block reaches \(H/32 \times W/32\), and three stride-1 blocks deepen the representation.
The feature pyramid runs from \(H/2 \times W/2\) to \(H/32 \times W/32\), providing a multi-scale representation suited to polyps of varying size, and is optimized for speed through depthwise convolutions and careful channel management.

Apple, a company known for making privacy a priority, is reportedly working on a home security camera that doesn’t record video or photos.
No video recording.
But it will not be able to pull a video recording of that person walking into a room.
This is going to be the first home video security camera that doesn’t give you any footage.
Gurman points out that there are instances where users will want footage from a home security camera, like a burglary.

The San Francisco Police Department has purchased surveillance technology that has been deployed by Israeli authorities to monitor Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
SFPD’s version of the software does not include facial recognition tools.
“Without BriefCam, SFPD investigators will be limited to labor-intensive manual review processes, which hinders the department’s ability to reduce violent vehicle-based crimes and dismantle organized crime networks.”
“We don’t have any tools that use facial recognition technology,”said Evan Sernoffsky, a spokesperson for the department.
Guariglia said that while San Francisco led the charge in banning facial recognition, law enforcement often finds workarounds.

Land exit remains the difficult piece CBP already uses facial comparison extensively at airports, seaports, and pedestrian land-border entry lanes.
But CBP acknowledged that it still lacked a feasible solution for broad biometric exit deployment in the land and sea environments.
CBP said it had implemented comprehensive facial biometric processing at air, sea, and pedestrian land entry, but only at air exit.
The agency said it would publish another Federal Register notice before undertaking large-scale biometric exit implementation at land or sea ports.
The agency then said it was still searching for a feasible way to perform biometric exit at land borders.

Across South Asian communities, Cambridge University in the United Kingdom has long been a mark of social prestige.
I recognised that pattern because, in another form, it had already followed me to the UK, at Cambridge University.
When surveillance crosses borders I am an exiled documentary filmmaker, human rights activist and researcher, currently living in the UK.
I arrived at Cambridge University in September 2024 having disclosed the sensitivity of my research and the possible dangers surrounding it.
When Arday reported physical threats, Cambridge said it urgently installed panic alarms, upgraded CCTV, screened his emails and post and revised security protocols.

For the second straight year under manager Clayton McCullough, the Miami Marlins were a team that fought into September to hang around in the National League wild-card race, only to fall short when the dust settled.
One of those players was shortstop Otto Lopez, who proved that he is a foundation piece for Miami to build around rather than trading.
Otto Lopez Named Marlins' Biggest Surprise in 2026 Rumors were flying around at the trade deadline surrounding Lopez, but in the end, he wasn't traded after Bendix put a high asking price on his rising star.
Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report listed each MLB team's biggest surprise and disappointment and it shouldn't be surprising that Lopez was Miami's biggest surprise.
Miami fans might not want to hear it, but players like Lopez are ones to build around and build quickly.

On September 28, AMD announced that it would acquire World Labs founded by Li Fei-Fei in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $8.2 billion.
In July 2026, World Labs acquired spatial intelligence company SceniX, continuing to deepen its layout in the direction of robotics and simulation.
ImageNet solved the problem of object recognition, while World Labs aims to solve the position, relationship and change of objects in the three-dimensional space.
AMD previously recaptured the CPU market through Zen, and entered the data center and AI computing fields through EPYC and Instinct.
What World Labs corresponds to is what kind of tasks will drive the next round of computing growth.

The BGR-PROJECT, or Background Removal Benchmark, is accepting software implementations and device-based solutions.
Background removal separates a person from the surroundings in a photograph so the subject can be recomposited onto a uniform background.
Background removal provides a way to separate the person from the original scene before placing the subject against the required background.
BSI identifies halos around the subject, clipped hair and color spill from the original background among the problems background removal algorithms need to avoid.
BSI says artifacts introduced during background removal may degrade the quality of the facial image and, consequently, the performance of downstream face recognition.

3 min read Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For years, scientists have trained AI to read fMRI scans to accurately reconstruct visual information.
The researchers revealed Brain-IT, an AI model capable of reconstructing mental images with a scary level of accuracy—using only brain-scan data.
It needs vast amounts of data to draw inferences from, and fMRI scans paired with images are in painfully short supply.
So the researchers developed a decode/encode method where the model could both decode an image from these brain scans and also predict what brain scans might look like based on just an image alone.
And by altering the images, it’s possible to compare differences between predicted fMRI scans to uncover the brain’s underlying behavior.

Law enforcement agencies regularly rely on facial recognition technology (FRT) to link images of faces from CCTV footage to possible suspects.
By 2024, two million law enforcement searches per year used one vendor alone (The Record, June 27, 2024).
Defense lawyers and courts often have no idea law enforcement used FRT to identify a suspect—one reason legal challenges to it remain rare.
To identify potential suspects, law enforcement used surveillance camera footage to place a still image of the perpetrator into an FRT program, which they said produced one suspect: Craig Johnson.
Further, an FRT search does not occur in a vacuum: Law enforcement must still examine the candidates and decide whether any is enough of a “match.”

Apple is developing a home security camera that will not record video, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Gurman described the camera as a compact metal cylinder resembling an oversized tube of lip balm.
“You're not getting anything but text descriptions,” Gurman said.
Reports indicate the camera will follow in 2027, and Apple is also said to be developing a home security and monitoring service to accompany the hardware.
Apple announced AI-generated descriptions of camera clips for the Home app in June, but that feature still relies on recorded footage that users can play back.
