Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
--T.S. Eliot, Choruses from The Rock
There is a fundamental gap between the geometric coordinates or pixels
of raw data and the patterns, relations, and abstractions that go into
a mental image or mental map. Whole industries are devoted to applying
software technology to bridge this gap in diverse application areas.
This project will exploit the extensive expertise and experience of
the team members in order to focus on shared solutions for
transforming image and geometric data into knowledge and information.
