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.

    Finally! AI to find terrorist photos automatically. It's not racial profiling if a computer does it.

    God Bless idiot-proof Army Intelligence

    May as well include in your prayer: "electric candles", "plastic glass", "business ethics", "government worker", "honest broker", "educational television", "Microsoft Works".
    Ah, yes, tomorrow I'll be "working from home".
