Intelligent Noise Artifact Parallel Analysis Reduction

To address the Army need for a real-time suite of noise/artifact algorithms for cognitive and physiological status monitoring (CPSM), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Intelligent Noise Artifacts Parallel Analysis Reduction (INAPAR) system. This proposed system is based on POC’s hybrid-coupled noise/artifact separation techniques to decouple and remove not only EM noise, but also biological motion artifacts, from sensor data even at near-zero SNR conditions. The innovation in the two-layered, selective denoising architecture will enable the INAPAR system to eliminate in real time nonstationary, nonlinear, cluttered electrobiological noise. In Phase I, POC will demonstrate the INAPAR artifact/noise reduction performance boundaries under realistic test conditions, including analysis of sensors and noise artifact sources and accuracy. In Phase II, POC plans to develop a prototype system for integration with Army physiological/cognitive monitoring hardware and software and test the prototype in field trials.
