Award Data

The pace of remotely sensed data collection is increasing exponentially while the skilled workforce that is available to analyze and interpret the data is not. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a technology pathway to automation which promises to rapidly reduce the gap between data and information products and services. However, AI techniques require massive quantities of labeled data to train m ...

Public transit is particularly vulnerable to disruption and shocks from pandemics due to the collective nature of its mobility. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new needs to keep all facilities clean for the safety of people at all times. To prevent the spread of coronavirus through transit facilities, keeping surfaces disinfected is incredibly important. The aim of this project is to contribute ...

Detect and Identify Automated Labeler for Radar (DIALR)  Prime Solutions Group, Inc. (PSG) proposes Detect and Identify Automated Labeler for Radar (DIALR) for Research and Development (R&D) and demonstration of an algorithm framework for automated labeling of target classes in radar imagery. This provides a baseline for automatically labeling multiple target classes in Synthetic Aperture Radar ...

Existing THz devices have not yet provided all the imaging functionalities required to fulfill non-destructive imaging and remote sensing applications. Most of the THz imaging and spectroscopy systems utilize single-pixel detectors, which results in a severe trade-off between the measurement time and field-of-view.   Lack of large-format (many-pixel) sensor arrays is one of the major hurdles for ...

RF Viper is a novel next generation system to stop wrong-way drivers (WWD) on ramps. It is the “vehicle-to- infrastructure” missing component of the current Alert & Warning systems installed in many states. Like a true viper that uses its fangs to inject venom and incapacitate its prey, the RF Viper emits energy that interrupts vehicle engine electronics, stops the engine, incapacitating the v ...

PHMSA reports a total of 5,745 pipeline incidents with 282 deaths and 1,193 injuries in the 20-year period from 2000 through 2019. Moreover, these incidents cost $10,419,311,449 in damages. Most oil and gas (O&G) transmission pipes are repaired externally by excavating around a damaged or leak site, preparing the pipe surface, and mechanically installing a repair product such as a clamp or wrap on ...
