DARPA Supporting Smart Cameras

[From DARPA Wants Supercharged Spy Cams | Danger Room from Wired.com]

DARPA is supporting various smart camera technologies in a number of ways. Here are snippets from the story:

Dynamic Multisensor Exploitation, or "DYME," aims to combine cameras, radar, and acoustic sensors to better find bad guys as they move through urban canyons, and along coastal waters.

The goal of "Building Labels for Urban Environments," or "BLUE" (you gotta love these acronyms), is to automatically label the structures seen in surveillance video.

The Combat Video Analysis Engine (no acronym, alas) would use "computer vision, machine learning and probabilistic models to detect and recognize complex threats and suspicious activities without identification of specific individuals."
