In 2006, Plain Sight was acquired by Water Intelligence, an environmental services and technology company focused on detecting, finding and remediating water leaks. The Plain Sight Group's initial IP research and development is related to technologies for the digital battlefield of the future (approximately $15m in Defense Department funding).The firm is focused on the creation of proprietary, next generation technologies in the areas of computational analytics, spectroscopy, electro-magnetics and optics to develop applications geared for the sorting, organizing and extracting of relevant features from massive amounts of digital data; 37+ patent filings; 14 awarded. The firm creates applications for different fields of use that are all marked by massive amounts of digital data where real-time signal extraction is mission critical. These fields range from seismic exploration (energy) to flow metering (water) to targeting (defense) to concussion monitoring (medical) to stock market forecasting (finance). Feature extraction technologies are also applicable to billion dollar commercial markets from environmental sciences to alternative energies to multimedia search to financial analytics.
