SBIR-STTR Award

A concept is developed to perform rigorous, analytical, multi-sensor triangulation for the absolute control of digital images within a larger data base environment. Procedures to integrate the controlled digital images into the larger data base structure are defined, and functional operations involving registration of reconnaissance imagery for the best display using combinations of logic and topographic information are discussed. System specifications and operation concepts are outlines. Storage, retrieval and maintenance of the digital data base are defined. Hardware requirements are defined as a function of display, timing, and cost.

A concept is developed to perform rigorous, analytical, multi-sensor triangulation for the absolute control of digital images within a larger data base environment. In Phase II, TRIFID proposes to progress form the operational concept design and engineering demonstration completed in Phase I to an operation testbed installed at a government facility by accomplishing the following three objectives: 1. Perform detailed systems requirements studies; 2. Develop CDIDB engineering software modules at TRIFID; 3. Provide ETL with a testbed capability. These three objectives will result in a working prototype CDIDB on an ETL testbed system. The prototype is to be used by government personnel in creating controlled digital imagery from a variety of sources for a variety of applications and exploitation systems.
