An AI trained to spot hidden objects can see through camouflage - New Scientist

Inception · May 12

Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed an AI system that can identify objects hidden by camouflage. The AI uses a convolutional neural network trained on synthetic data to detect partially occluded objects. The system outperformed existing object detection methods in tests on real-world images. Why it matters: The work demonstrates potential applications of AI in defense, security, and search and rescue operations in the Middle East and elsewhere.
