] Now two Columbia University scientists have come up with
] a computer-based way to extract detailed information from
] the fleeting images of the world mirrored on the curved
] surface of the eye.
]
] Shree K. Nayar, a professor of computer science and
] co-director of the Columbia Vision and Graphics Center,
] took high-resolution photographs of people that include
] their eyes and, in particular, the transparent part of
] the eye called the cornea. Then, with a postdoctoral
] researcher, Ko Nishino, he devised computer algorithms
] that analyze the images reflected in these natural
] mirrors, revealing a wealth of information.
