Mind's Eye (military)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mind's Eye is a research project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The Information Innovation Office (I2O) is responsible. The project includes video analysis with the help of artificial intelligence .

Background and application

Military reconnaissance is usually carried out by specialized reconnaissance forces. When scouting, these units often penetrate deep into enemy territory, which makes their use dangerous. Furthermore, humans are unable to perform such a task around the clock.

The development of Mind's Eye is aimed precisely at these ground surveillance tasks using cameras for use in drones .

The key technology for such an “intelligent camera” is to provide machine-based visual intelligence. Mind's Eye is supposed to be enabled by its visual intelligence to record, interpret and learn from the interaction of objects via optical detection, thus making the evaluation of educational information by people superfluous.

Twelve research institutes were contracted by DARPA for the development: Carnegie Mellon University , Co57 Systems, Inc., Colorado State University , Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( Caltech ), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Purdue University , SRI International , State University of New York at Buffalo , TNO (Netherlands), University of Arizona , University of California Berkeley and the University of Southern California .

Mind's Eye is to be used together with ARGUS-IS in the Gorgon Stare reconnaissance and surveillance system , which is used for the MQ-9 Reaper drone.
