An AI trained to spot hidden objects can see through camouflage - New Scientist
Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed an AI model that can identify objects hidden by camouflage by analyzing subtle texture variations. The AI was trained on synthetic data and then tested on real-world images. It successfully detected camouflaged objects with high accuracy, even when the camouflage was very effective. Why it matters: This could have implications for military applications, search and rescue operations, and even wildlife conservation.
