Notes

Linda:
Who (or what) is viewed by the machine vision in this situation?
I need a new tag called Targeted Objects or similar

Linda:
How does the machine vision function in a larger (societal/institutional/interpersonal) context
I chose Informing/illustrating/demonstrating because the aim is to collect evidence to inform the court of conducted war crimes.

Linda:
Relationships humans/machine vision
I chose Cooperative because object recognition is used to flag material which is then validated by humans before it can be archived as evidence.
