Toyon proposes development of a system which performs automated analysis of images for fish population monitoring and fishing regulation enforcement application. The proposed system is capable of processing images collected from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), as well as images collected using electronic monitoring (EM) cameras used to observe fish catc ...

Seacoast Science has licensed, for the purpose of technology transfer, the NIST patent “Recirculating Temperature Wave Focusing Chromatography,” with the goal of implementing the technology into a unique environmental monitor. Seacoast believes the NIST technology can improve Seacoast’s environmental monitor, allowing for an order of magnitude cost reduction for long-term monitoring at remed ...

Antara Teknik will develop and commercialize a comprehensive line of low-cost, high performance Software Defined Network Solutions in order to accelerate the deployment and adoption of Border Gateway Protocol with Security (BGPSEC). The innovative taraEosTM Open Architecture BGPSEC compliant edge-router and crypto offload devices featuring the NIST SRx will improve the safety of the Internet criti ...

This proposed concept is a direct response to NOAA Topic 9.4.01, “Unmanned Aircraft System: Rapid Response for Natural Disaster” and will develop a Hybrid Unmanned Air System (UAS) called “Aerielle” equipped with a Humminbird SONAR imaging system that is commonly used by first responders. Aerielle will perform currently developed disaster response missions for UAS and additional under wate ...

Kraenion is an AI company developing Machine Learning and Active Learning technology to an-alyze large 2D and 3D multi-spectral datasets of importance to public safety and national secu-rity. Our deep learning models and statistical vision algorithms process planet-scale satellite image datasets and security critical CT and X-ray imagery. Kraenion’s Vision Engine platform includes active learnin ...

The DiveViz platform being developed through this SBIR will communicate accurate real-time and forecasted ocean visibility reports. It is a prognostic tool that will lead to more coordinated and timely responses to high visibility events for the recreational, commercial, scientific, and military diving communities and improve advanced activity planning for all ocean activities. The primary impedim ...

"With increased seafood imports and limited monitoring, fraud and deception in seafood marketing is a growing safety and quality concern. The flesh of many fish species is similar in taste and texture and, therefore, it is difficult to identify species in fillet form. SafetySpect is developing a tabletop system incorporating multimode spectroscopy for real-time quality, adulteration and traceabili ...

Unmanned aerial systems efficiently collect meteorological data for weather forecasting. Under Part 107 regulations, the FAA currently limits flights to 400 feet altitude but could grant a waiver if the applicant can demonstrate safe equipment and operations. By defining a protected area of operations, the applicant can switch the requirement from visually observing the UAV to detecting manned air ...

This 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 ...

The 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 ...
