DARPA Unveils System Using Human Brains For Computer Vision
http://j.mp/UjyIix (Slashdot)
"There are two discrete parts to the system: The 120-megapixel camera,
which is tripod-mounted and looks over the battlefield; and the
computer system, where a soldier sits in front of a computer monitor
with an EEG strapped to his head, looking at images captured by the
camera, wedding out false threats. In testing, the 120-megapixel
camera, combined with the computer vision algorithms, generated 810
false alarms per hour; with a human operator strapped into the EEG,
that drops down to just five false alarms per hour."
