Eigen-Similarity Integral (ESI)- A New Concept for Invariant Image Similarity Detection
SBC: 21ST CENTURY SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AMost of today's precision guided weapons use Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to gain improved accuracy. But, as Operation Iraqi Freedom recently showed, foreign militaries have equipment to locally jam GPS signals. Another effective method ofautonomous navigation is necessary to ensure mission success. Similar to rudimentary terrain recognition used in early cruise missiles, the matching o ...

Separation of Speech from Background
SBC: AETION TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: N/AHuman ability to attend to a single voice in the presence of background interference is remarkable. If this could be imitated in practical technology it would be of great benefit for automatic speech recognition and other applications. Researchers at OhioState University have demonstrated computational methods for separating speech from interfering sounds that imitate human auditory processing, an ...

Integrated Visual and Inertial Sensor Information for Onboard Navigation (I-VISION)
SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION Topic: AF06T032Given the vulnerability of the GPS system to intentional or hostile denial of service, it is imperative that the U.S. military develop technologies that provide robust navigation solutions that do not rely on GPS data. To achieve this capability, Aurora and MIT have teamed to develop the Integrated Visual and Inertial Sensor Information Onboard Navigation (I-VISION) system, which will couple optic ...

Detecting and Extracting Image Similarities, Differences and Target Patterns
SBC: Automation, Integration of Information & Sy Topic: N/AThis proposal proposes the synergistic integration of several methods for mining images, detecting, correlating and evaluating the existence of artifacts due to either hidden information or changes or target patterns or noise. The first method is based onthe Pixels Flow Functions (PFF) able to detect changes in images by projecting the pixel values vertically, horizontally and diagonally. These pr ...

Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma optimization for efficient generation of UV radiation and active radicals
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: N/AAtmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma sources are being actively developed for a variety of industrial and military applications. Many of these applications employ ultraviolet (UV) radiation or active species (radicals) generated by the plasma. Theefficiency of plasma sources depends on the energy distribution of electrons which are mainly responsible for the production of radicals and excit ...
