Thought this was an interesting article about the rate at which
unmanned reconnaissance sorties have increased in just the last 2
years (exponentially) and how they are basically seeking image
understanding technologies to interpret the glut of data.
From the article:
""Today an analyst sits there and stares at Death TV for hours on end,
trying to find the single target or see something move," Gen. James E.
Cartwright, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a
conference in New Orleans in November. "It's just a waste of
manpower." "
It'll be neat to see how the image and signal understanding community
responds to their requests to deal with the data stream from the new
"gorgon stare" drone with its wide angle stitched high resolution
imaging system from multiple cameras.
