GEOGENX: target disambiguation through spatiotemporal context
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: NGA201004Satellite 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 ...

Danesfield Courier: 3D Models from Point Clouds for Efficient Transmission and Rendering
SBC: KITWARE INC Topic: NGA183002An important application for geospatial 3D models is fast transmission and rendering in web and mobile applications, especially for limited bandwidth connections. Point cloud models are commonly used within the NGA and are derived from multiple sources including Lidar and aerial/satellite imagery and video. However, point clouds are too large for efficient transmission and rendering. Kitware ...

DIALR Phase II
SBC: PRIME SOLUTIONS GROUP, INCORPORATED Topic: OSD221002The pace of remotely sensed data collection is increasing exponentially while the skilled workforce that is available to analyze and interpret the data is not. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a technology pathway to automation which promises to rapidly reduce the gap between data and information products and services. However, AI techniques require massive quantities of labeled data to train m ...

Seeing the World in Real-Time with Automated Land Use Monitoring
SBC: IMPACT OBSERVATORY INC Topic: OSD221D04Impact Observatory recently demonstrated production of the world’s first fully automated time series of annual global land use land cover (LULC) maps at 10m resolution using deep learning algorithms applied to Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. We propose to develop an AI-powered prototype system for automated mapping and change monitoring of the world that can be applied continuously, in near real-t ...

Super Resolution of Satellite Imagery using Multi-Sensor Fusion
SBC: KITWARE INC Topic: NGA172005The commercial small satellite provider Planet is expanding towards global coverage at a daily revisit rate at the cost of lower resolution imagery than satellite providers like DigitalGlobe. The lower resolution diminishes the effectiveness of Planet in many surveillance applications that would greatly benefit from its coverage and revisit rate. We therefore propose a single image super resolutio ...

Advanced Integrated CMOS Terahertz (THz) Focal Plane Arrays (FPA)
SBC: ALPHACORE INC Topic: OSD222D02Existing THz devices have not yet provided all the imaging functionalities required to fulfill non-destructive imaging and remote sensing applications. Most of the THz imaging and spectroscopy systems utilize single-pixel detectors, which results in a severe trade-off between the measurement time and field-of-view. Lack of large-format (many-pixel) sensor arrays is one of the major hurdles for ...

Multi-hop Processing for OTHR Range Extension M191-011-0105
SBC: DECIBEL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: NGA191011Extending the range of High Frequency (3MHz-30MHz) Over The Horizon Radars (HF-OTHR) to multi-hop range will provide a significant capability enhancement to neutralize anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) capabilities developed by US adversaries. To provide target detection for OTHR at multi-hop ranges we will develop the Radar Environment Response Function (RERF) solution that employs a comprehensive ...

Region Reduction
SBC: CLARIFAI, INC. Topic: NGA201006The NGA program “GLIMPSE” leverages context and topography to geolocate imagery for further analysis. For this proposal, Clarifai intends to develop and deliver a deep-learning pipeline to reduce the geographical search space for an image that will expedite analysis and reduce computational cost. The objective of this proposal is to provide a system to (a) efficiently identify relevant imagery ...

Clarifai Response to Topic Number: NGA 201-001 Phase II Rare Objects
SBC: CLARIFAI, INC. Topic: NGA201001Computer Vision AI models are trained on large datasets to understand imagery and assist with human analysis in thousands of use cases. This proposal is intended to enable the use of machine-learned computer vision to assist analysts in the location of rare objects even when there is insufficient real world labeled data for deep training. The generic problem of automatic recognition of objects fro ...
