Army Researcher Invents New Ways for Intelligence Analysts to Visualize, Interact with Information

Army researchers are improving how computers manage a myriad of images, which will help analysts across the DOD [Department of Defense] intelligence community.

In a new user interface developed for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Dr. Jeff Hansberger designed and created a system that facilitates the visualization, navigation and manipulation of tens of thousands of images.

Hansberger works at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, or ARL Human Research and Engineering Directorate field element at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. DARPA selected his design earlier this year for its Visual Media Reasoning, or VMR.

The DARPA VMR system aids intelligence analysts in searching, filtering, and exploring visual media through the use of advanced computer vision and reasoning techniques.

    Come on! that reads like the most vacuous press release going. This is supposed to be a site aimed a the technically minded, give us some detail other than "DARPA selected something to do better image handling"

    Why is this system so good, what new technologies does it introduce, how is it better than existing? I'm not reading the article if you don't give me a reason to.

    Mate, you joking aren't you? Of course the details are secret.
    What's not that secret: US has so brilliant students that only 2 working part time managed to solve a problem that US Army had.
    Or... hang on... maybe it suggests that the US Army is so backwards that only 2 students working part time managed to come with something better? (mumble-mumble) I don't know, I don't know

    (grin)

    Your statements labeling TFS as a VPR are OTM IMHO. DOD'S DARPA & ARL HRED's VMR are A-OK and if you don't agree you're SOL so GTFO. Acronym alphabet FTW!

    None of the links seem to point to any significant revaluations.

    Which is exactly what you expect when someone rips off Google images or Bing images and slaps a Secret stamp on it.

    Personally, I don't think there is anything here other than a semi-pirated image sorting and presentation platform.
