During Phase II, Spectral Sciences Inc., proposes to develop innovative software tools for timely and highly specific characterization of the world littoral zones using data from new satellite-based hyperspectral imaging systems. SS Phase II objectivesinclude (1) develop a software package containing an automated LZ atmospheric correction code with advanced algorithms for determining ocean bot ...

Generalized change detection is a critical capability to mitigate the need for massive human inspection of the rapidly expanding volume ofglobal overhead satellite imagery. Current optical change detection approaches focus on fully specified systems to detect a predefined set ofchanges, and effective approaches for generalized change detection have not yet been demonstrated. We propose to build a ...

Ground vehicles with navigation capability (e.g., GPS) can index into foundation data (e.g., Google Maps) to gain situational awareness abouttheir surroundings. When GPS and RF navigation sources are degraded, maintaining situational awareness requires an alternative navigationsource. One alternative source is the foundation data itself. The data contain objects at known 3D locations, which projec ...

With the ever-growing number of imaging satellites in orbit the job of an analyst will change from eyes on pixels to analysis of informationfrom imagery thanks to automated image processing like object detection and change detection. Object detection algorithms have advancedto near human performance given that there is sufficient labeled data on which to train; however, obtaining this data is cost ...
