Demonstration of a Drone-Based Track Safety Inspection System Using Asset-Based Change Detection
SBC: Noble Drone Services, LLC Topic: 180FR4Today’s prevailing methods of visual track inspection tend to be expensive, disruptive to operations, and have potential to be less thorough than preferred. To help address these issues, machine vision technology emerged in the rail sector over a decade ago; however, the technology has not achieved its expected potential due to the uncontrolled nature of rail environments. Recent findings have s ...

NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels
SBC: FBS INC Topic: 180PH1Fracture toughness is the material parameter that, along with applied loading and flaw geometry, dictates the critical crack size, and therefore controls the flaw size that must be detected during inspections. A major challenge facing pipeline operators is that many pipelines are old, making their structural integrity uncertain, and that material pedigree of the pipeline steel is unknown. Therefor ...

Developing Regional GIC Hazard Tools for Power Utility Planning and Operations
SBC: COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS, INC. Topic: 9302Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) hazard is a recognized threat to the United States power system. Federal models to support hazard specification and prediction for critical infrastructure are at an advanced state, including models of space weather, the Earth’s conductive structure, and regional geoelectric field. We propose to use existing NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA-SWPC) mo ...

Enabling the Rapid Creation of Custom Predictive Models with GOES-16 and NEXRAD Data
SBC: ONAI INC. Topic: 9401NOAA's Big Data Project (BDP) has made several valuable datasets available on major cloud platforms. While a critical step, many organizations that would benefit from the data are not technologically capable of performing state-of-the-art machine learning. We propose to unlock the power of the data for those who can most benefit by developing technology that automatically trains deep learning mode ...

Interactive Visualization of 3D NEXRAD Data in Virtual Reality
SBC: BADVR INC Topic: 9401This project will create a proof-of-concept application that visualizes 3D NEXRAD data from NOAA's Big Data Project inside virtual reality (VR). By integrating unique processing and projection algorithms into low-cost VR headsets, this initiative will increase the accessibility of data to meteorologists, fire departments, and first responders during critical decision-making. During the recent Cal ...

Autonomous LARS for Subsea Vehicles
SBC: Marine Advanced Robotics, Inc. Topic: 9603High resolution deep ocean mapping has historically been a cost prohibitive endeavor for all but the most well-funded governments, companies, individuals, and institutions. It is limited by the acquisition and operational costs of the assets required. Fully autonomous solutions have the potential to dramatically lower the acquisition costs and increase access to the data. One of the key missing pi ...

Portable Analyzer for Ultra sensitive Detection and Quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Shellfish
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 9101The proposed device is a compact, portable and robust battery-powered analytical instrument for analysis of complex multicomponent mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in shellfish. The device is based on principles of analytical gas chromatography (GC) and utilizes a novel highly-integrated multisensory detector. Implementation of a multisensory detector allows the device to colle ...

Environmental and Oceanographic Measurement and Data System
SBC: INTELLISENSE SYSTEMS INC Topic: 9601To address the NOAA’s need for cost-effective, highly reliable, readily deployable, platform-independent sensors and observing systems, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to develop the new Environmental and Oceanographic Measurement and Data (NOMAD) system based on a new design that utilizes previously developed mature components. Specifically, innovations in low-power and ultra-compact ...

Smart Buoy Device to Locate Ropeless Fishing Gear
SBC: Blue Ocean Gear Inc. Topic: 9204Responsible operation of ropeless fishing gear to avoid whale entanglements must involve a method of retrieval if the gear surfaces at a different place and/or time than expected. Blue Ocean Gear will demonstrate the capability of innovative Smart Buoy devices to detect and locate ropeless buoy systems once they have reached the surface, whether planned or unplanned. This will improve commercial o ...

BLOS Kit with Acoustic Sensor for Non-Cooperative Aircraft
SBC: SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: 9501SARA proposes to integrate a Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) system on a NOAA-selected UAS platform. The BLOS system will detect cooperative aircraft as well as non-cooperative aircraft by including SARA’s Passive Acoustic Non-cooperative aircraft Collision Avoidance System (PANCAS). PANCAS is an acoustic system which is low weight, low cost and has a 360-degree field of view. SARA will develop a sa ...
