The New York Times have a good story today about how emergency numbers 911 and non-emergency number 311 will start accepting digital photos and images from callers. Mayor Bloomberg calls it 'a revolutionary innovation in crime fighting" and I couldn't agree more. Pictures definately speaks louder than words.
The question is just how 911 and other services will be able to process all the images? The need for a very smart image and video search engine just keeps growing stronger..
