Highly Parallel Real-time Image-based 3D Modeling and Presentation System

To address the Army need for a 3D imagery presentation system to enable effective decision-making by Mission Commanders, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Highly Parallel Real-time Image-based 3D Modeling and Presentation system (PRIMP), based on an innovative combination of GPU compatible efficient algorithms for multi-sensor data fusion and 3D presentation. Specifically, the innovation in architecture with pre-computed data and fast algorithms will enable the PRIMP to efficiently render 3D realistic imagery to warfighters. As a result, this technology offers high situational awareness and real-time operation in low SWaP processing hardware, which directly address the Army requirements. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate the feasibility of PRIMP by developing a TRL-3 prototype tested with sensor data. POC plans to build in Phase II a TRL-6 prototype and perform extensive testing.
