High Speed High Accuracy Artificial Neural Networks for UAV based Target Identification
SBC: UHV TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: AF18BT007The machine learning and artificial intelligence community has recently garnered much attention for ground breaking performance of novel neural network architectures for self-driving cars. One of the machine learning methods used in self-driving cars is semantic segmentation. In this fashion each pixel in an image is label with a class, allowing for contour-based image segmentation which is differ ...

Contour Based Image Segmentation
SBC: VY CORP Topic: AF18BT007We propose to detect and identify moving objects in airborne imagery and full-motion video in unconstrained environments. Conventional techniques result in too many false positives; a new topology is needed to automatically detect and identify moving targets from a moving platform in airborne imagery. Our software is designed to analyze video imagery and deliver curve metadata that can be organize ...

Open Call for Science and Technology Created by Early-Stage (e.g. University) Teams
SBC: ESTAT ACTUATION INC Topic: AF19BT001Designing actuation hardware for autonomous systems is challenging due to the high weight and power consumption of conventional actuators and clutches. Compared to existing clutch technologies, the electroadhesive clutches produced by ESTAT have exceptional holding force as a ratio of both mass and power consumption. They weigh 10x less and consumes 1000x less power than other clutching technologi ...
