7. New algorithms from UCSD improve automated image labeling
   03-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Electrical engineers from UC San Diego have made progress on a different kind of image search engine -- one that analyzes the images themselves. This approach may be folded into next-generation image search engines for the Internet; and in the shorter term, could be used to annotate and search commercial and private image collections.

10. NASA's New Mars Camera Gives Dramatic View Of Planet
    09-30-2006 · ScienceDaily
    Mars is ready for its close-up. The highest-resolution camera ever to orbit Mars is returning low-altitude images to Earth from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Rocks and surface features as small as armchairs are revealed in the first image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter since the spacecraft maneuvered into its final, low-altitude orbital path. The imaging of the red planet at this resolution heralds a new era in Mars exploration.
