I have managed to develop a biologically inspired real-time generic visual object recognition system that seem to have a near 100% recognition accuracy. I would love to publish a journal about this system. My question is how do i protect my ideas when i write a journal because this will be my first journal so i need some help?

I'am an Electronics Engineer by profession and started my research in vision on 8/8/2009 and managed to finish the research on 2/10/2012 and implemented the design in C++. I'am planning to start a company based on visual search and share my research findings with the scientific and Engineering communities. I would appreciate any help i can get from any one.

When you say "journal", are you talking about an article in a peer-review scientific publication or a blog or something else ?

Anyway of communicating the finds of the research but protecting the technology from being used commercially by someone without permission would suffice.

As soon as you put something "out there" you take the risk that someone will steal/borrow/use your ideas.

Just apply for a patent on your "technology" (even if the application is public (I think it is, you will have proof that you did it first), do a good business plan, present your ideas to investors (with non-disclosure clauses), and see how it works out.

Thanks.

I would suggest that you need to make some headway on getting your idea started in terms of a company, before you start telling the world how it is done. I think it's awesome you want to share what you've developed, but to do that before you're out there selling it, is to create competition you don't need.
