Airborne Dynamic Detection and Discrimination of Dismounts (AD4)

The general problem is the lack of real time image/sensor exploitation technologies enabling automated decision and reporting processes to isolate, count and discriminate people from man-made flora structures, flora, fauna, and vehicles. The specific technical problem is the lack of innovative image and video exploitation algorithms and suitable sensor modalities or combinations to isolate, count, and discriminate people from structures. The VIPMobile, Inc. and Temple University ISR Team provides unmatched scientific and mathematical excellence relating to motion detection, identification, tracking, and classification of people using automated exploitation and surveillance. We possess technical and operational experience to design innovative image and video exploitation algorithms combined with optimal sensor modalities to provide airborne dynamic detection and discrimination of dismounts (AD4) in austere environments. Our team is part of the Counter Narco-Terrorism Program Office (CNTPO) basic contract to interdict, intercept, and apprehend counter-narcotics and narco-terrorism personnel, infrastructure and facilities. CNTPO provides the transition vision and Phase III commercialization vehicle for AD4 capabilities as well as CNT support worldwide.   BENEFIT: Airborne dynamic detection and discrimination of dismounts provides foundation for search and rescue, law enforcement, and other security applications; commercial applications include oceanographic surveillance applications, and other airborne-related surveillance activities.
