Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is actively involved in the safe transportation of energy and hazardous material that are vital to daily lives. This also includes underground natural gas storage (UNGS) maintenance and safe operation which are critical to nation's energy infrastructure. Enhancing leak detection and identifying smart ways to prevent potential well blow ...

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. An ever present and fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping to quickly locate and correctly identify targets from vast quantities of image data. Despi ...

BLUESHIFT, or “Bi-directional Laser Ultrasound Enhanced System using Holographic Imaging For Treatment,” is a handheld non-contact laser ultrasound imaging device for military field triage identification of anomalies in tissue, such as shrapnel and hemorrhages. The size of a cell phone, BLUESHIFT incorporates innovative techniques to measure the skin vibrations from returning ultrasound pulses ...

Satellite platforms play a critical role in the modern defense and intelligence infrastructure, providing timely, detailed, and readily available imagery to support U.S. national security. A fundamental requirement for this type of data is automated target detection and recognition, helping analysts to quickly locate and correctly identify targets of interest from vast quantities of image data. De ...

To develop a support tool for detecting retina damage, first a clinical decision support algorithm for rapid analysis of fundus images of the retina before and after laser injury was developed. The retinal images then went through a rigorous image enhancement phase, image data augmentation, and pixel normalization. Following the enhancement and augmentation processes, algorithms were developed to ...

Crushed aggregate is used as railroad ballast, drainage and stabilization material. Fouling of this aggregate reduces its performance: it loses its ability to drain water resulting in reduced strength. Substructure failure is a leading cause of rail accidents and it is a strategic priority to develop new methods for monitoring ballast condition. The challenge is that aggregate fouling does not pre ...

Oceanit will develop a handheld, non-contact Laser Ultrasound (ncLUS) medical imaging scanner in the form of a stand-alone lightweight handheld device. Using synthetic aperture imaging, the acquired images will be displayed in real- time using a handheld screen, which will be archived and accessible for reviewing on demand in retrospective analyses.

Satellite and airborne platforms provide timely, detailed, and readily available still and full-motion imagery to support U.S. national security. A constant requirement for this type of data is automated object detection and recognition, helping analysts to quickly locate and correctly identify targets of interest from vast quantities of image data. This requirement is made more challenging when a ...

Oceanit proposes a Phase I project to conduct a feasibility study for the 12x12 antenna distribution system that can be remotely controlled to enable multiple radios to access multiple antennas.
