The slowness, associated with processing of surveillance images from satellites, infrared sensors, and aerial-mounted cameras may soon be possible at greater speeds, says a recent report by IEEE.As a part of research for a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program called Neurotechnology for Intelligence Analysts - teams of researchers at Honeywell, Teledyne Scientific and Imaging, and Columbia University are busy hooking image analysts up to EEG machines, reading their brain activity, and speeding up data sorting sixfold.
This could be used for searching for desired images in a large database of images. It would be faster than a manual search. This study is based on the concept called event related potential (ERP) in which after a human he electrical activity in the brain's visual cortex has already spiked about 150 ms after an image is shown.
A detailed report can be found on the IEEE Spectrum Pages.
