passive form or active form?

Question

In technical writing, when writing general things that what others have done for e.g. in the introduction section

for example, if i want to write;

1. The knowledge based object recognition nowadays has gained increased interest in point processing tasks.

can we write as above? But I feel, it is not meaningful as the verb should be has been gained as the doer is the writer or reader..

or should we obey passive form like;

1. The knowledge based object recognition nowadays is gained increased interest in point processing tasks.

Answer 1

I would use the first option:

The knowledge based object recognition nowadays has gained increased interest in point processing tasks.

Using "is gained" is not correct in this context.
