Mind's Eye
Abstract
The Mind's Eye program, previously part of the Machine Reading and Reasoning thrust, is developing in machines, a capability that currently exists only in animals: "visual intelligence." Machines enhanced by Mind's Eye technology will have the capability to learn generally applicable and generative representations of action between objects in a scene, directly from visual inputs, and be able to reason over those learned representations. While current research in machine vision has been successful in developing techniques recognizing objects and their properties, Mind's Eye will add the perceptual and cognitive underpinnings for reasoning about the action in scenes, enabling the creation of a more complete narrative for the visual field. The technologies developed under Mind's Eye will have broad applicability in robotics and surveillance. These concepts and technology will continue in PE 0602305E, Project MCN-01 beginning in FY 2011.
