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.

    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
