Advanced Visual Aids Through Augmented Reality (AVATAR)

In Phase II, the primary technical objectives are to expand the spatial modeling to a more complete 3D representation of the environment; to incorporate additional data sources to create a more robust model; to leverage computer vision techniques to precisely locate objects, structures, contacts, etc. in the imagery; and to optimize the resulting algorithms for the target hardware and software environment to ensure real-time operation. We will perform more extensive testing and evaluation of the system on real-world data and gather feedback from subject matter experts (SMEs) and end users. Finally, we will integrate the resulting capabilities into the Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) with prime contractor Lockheed Martin in support of the Advanced Processor Build 2017 (APB-17) Step processes.
