Visual Media Reasoning (VMR)
Abstract
The Visual Media Reasoning (VMR) program created technologies to automate the analysis of enemy-recorded photos and videos and to identify, within minutes, key information related to the content. This included identification of individuals within the image (who), enumeration of the objects within the image and their attributes (what), and determining the image's geospatial location and time frame (where and when). Large data stores of enemy photos and video are available but cannot be easily leveraged by a warfighter or analyst attempting to understand a specific new image in a timely fashion. The VMR program developed technology to enable users to gain insights rapidly through application of highly parallelized image analysis techniques that can process the imagery in massive distributed image stores. VMR technology serves as a force-multiplier by rapidly and automatically extracting tactically relevant information and alerting the analyst to scenes that warrant the analyst's expert attention.
