The mad geniuses at DARPA have their next project lined up: a camera that can guide itself and report back from the field.
That kind of visual intelligence has been an exclusively human trait, until now. The plan, called “The Mind’s Eye,” is going to be outlined next at a one-day conference in DC in late April. The hope is to make up for human weaknesses, like fatigue or bias, that can result in unreliable intelligence. These cameras will be endowed with both the intellect to process a scene and the imagination to contextualize and describe it.
