Resin-Transmitter for Covert Non-lethal Tagging

Phase I work has resulted in the invention of a new, revolutionary multiscale technique that is very well suited for compressing DTED. This technique includes(1)accurate reconstruction of terrain features via simple add-on to any compressionroutine,(2)feature based compression, (3) curve and surface compression, (4) fast, feature preserving data retrieval. Phase II general objectives involve (1) further basic algorithm development, (2) validating the data structure with optimalfeature/geometry based metrics, (3) addition of state-of-art multiresolution/PDE based image processing tasks,(4) developing a prototype suitable for installation and evaluation at a Navy site, (5) integrating DTED with other sensor data. Phase IIIcommercialization plans involve possible joint ventures with any of several large image compression companies.
