In its effort to provide necessary intelligence and analysis, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) utilizes extensive traffic camera systems. However, the large amount of data overwhelms both analysts and existing processing methods. In order to provide a better understanding and reduce the search space for common problems such as target tracking, it is necessary to extract the camera ...

We propose to develop a theoretical understanding of the relationship between intrinsic geometric structure in both training and latent data and characteristics of functions learned from that data for deep neural network (DNN) architectures. Along the way we propose to also understand the structure of the neural networks that are best trained on a given data set. Both of these theories will lead t ...

Deep Neural Networks have become ubiquitous in the modern analysis of voluminous datasets with geometric symmetries. In the field of Particle Physics, experiments such as DUNE require the detection of particle signatures interacting within the detector, with analyses of over a billion 3D event images per channel each year; with typical setups containing over 150,000 different channels.  In an ...

NGA seeks an innovation to fully automate processes that recover camera orientation parameters, specifically for ground-based “photo” (aka image) and video frame use cases. The ability to use these ground-based systems represents an enhanced aspect to traditional photogrammetry, and in many regards, folding in hand-held systems, and considering the nuances associated with these collects, is ye ...

Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) is an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of penetrating radiation in a very short period of time. Global proliferation of radioactive and nuclear materials has resulted in increased threat of weaponized exposure or inadvertent exposure resulting from accidents such as Chernobyl. Presence of nuclear weapons with ...

To address the US Army need in novel toxicity sensing methods using a platform compatible with the Environmental Sentinel Biomonitor (ESB) for testing Army field water with the goal of increasing toxicant sensitivity and reducing consumable size and cost, SPZ Technologies, LLC (SPZT) proposes to continue the development a Human Cell-Based Biosensor (HCB). The HCB is based on novel human cells lyop ...

Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a severe illness that occurs when a person is exposed to high levels of ionizing radiation, typically within a relatively short period. Radioprotector medical countermeasures (MCMs) against ARS are designed to be administered prior to IR exposure to prevent harmful impacts, increase survival, and reduce the recovery time and cost. U.S. military personnel may be ex ...

Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation (IFOS) of San Jose, California requests $1,100,000 over 24 months for IFOS and our research collaborators at Baylor University, the Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech), and San Jose State University to dev

Our group is well positioned to succeed in producing each deliverable outlined in DHA201-D002. Our key collaborator in this proposal, Mayo Clinic, has produced an outstanding body work through many years of research and development. Their impressive body of work on fall mitigation training has already demonstrated success for warfighters recovering from limb loss. Treadmetrix has a proven track re ...

Defense Health Agency (DHA) seeks to develop a new and innovative point of injury device to manage patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Critical Innovations, NeoMatRx, and KARA & Associates; OHSU School of Medicine Division of Tr
