Retrieving and assessing the information contained in digital image requires more efficient analyses methods. In this study, we develop a capability to permit a "slicing and dicing" of digital images to permit digitizing selected scenes and for conducting specific multivariate analyses in support of the detection of "sought-after" objects. Information enhancements/improvements are investigated in support of detecting "sought-after" objects with emphasis being given to digital images as the primary data source. This is particularly useful when doing automated searching through numerous digital images for objects that, for example, could lead to the discovery of a body, for assessing the impact due to episodic events (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) or highly "sought-after" items by law enforcement or by Homeland Security.
