DARPA: Visual Media Reasoning (VMR) (DARPA-BAA-11-68)

DARPA is soliciting proposals for innovative research and development into creating a capability that can rapidly identify a range of information – Who, What, Where, and When– contained within a captured “noisy” photo or video image taken in theater by an adversary. The proposed research and development will investigate innovative approaches to visual image understanding, adaptation of existing techniques for novel purposes, and the integration of multiple visual processing algorithms and image datasets into a single, easy-to-use software system.
