DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency: the central research and development organization for the United States Department of Defense ) has a proposal for research on integration of visual intelligence to a variety of platforms, including unmanned aircraft, land vehicles and sea going vessel/vehicles.
Mind’s Eye Program
The Mind’s Eye program seeks to develop in machines a capability that currently exists only in animals: visual intelligence. Humans in particular perform a wide range of visual tasks with ease, which no current artificial intelligence can do in a robust way.
One of the desired military capabilities resulting from this new form of visual intelligence is a smart camera, with sufficient visual intelligence that it can report on activity in an area of observation.
Mind’s Eye strongly emphasizes fundamental research. It is expected that technology development teams will draw equally from the state of the art in cognitive systems, machine vision, and related fields to develop this new visual intelligence.
