Miniaturized, Low-cost Processing and Software/Hardware Component Technology for Near Real-time Structure Mapping for Urban Combat Special Operations

Technest Holdings Inc. proposes in this SBIR effort to develop a near real-time multi-sensor 3D structure mapping system with added capability for object recognition. The proposed system will use low-cost and fast sensors that are seamlessly integrated with our customized hardware to provide high-resolution 3D maps of the surroundings. In doing so, the proposed 3D-Mapping system will provide a robust, practical and cost-effective solution to the challenge presented in this solicitation. This system will be designed leveraging our wide experience in designing hardware and software systems for real-time surveillance, 3D imaging, 3D modeling and 2D/3D target detection, tracking and classification. The benefits of the proposed system are reflected in its potential uses for urban combat, robotics research and surveillance applications.
