  • Method and system for real-time automated change detection and classification for images
    Patent number: 8243551
    Abstract: A computer based system and method for determining if a change detection sonar contact in change detection side scan sonar imagery matches a historical contact of the same geospatial location.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 14, 2012
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy

  • Method and system for real-time automated change detection and classification for images
    Patent number: 8154952
    Abstract: A computer based system and method for real-time display of co-registered historical and current side scan sonar imagery during a side scan sonar survey. Embodiments also include modules for detection of clutter in the current imagery, identification of features, extraction of snippets, filtering based on predetermined size and shape parameters, and determination if a current feature is the same as a previously identified contact from historical imagery.

  • Moving map composer (MMC)
    Patent number: 6218965
    Abstract: The moving map composer (MMC) is a device that allows a user to manipulate different sources of map data into a single map for presentation on a display. The MMC has an ability to extract a predetermined area of map coverage defined by sets of latitude and longitude points, or non-orthogonal areas of map coverage, the smallest of which is a segment. A bitmap is a representation of an available map coverage for a given area selected by a user having a “set”, or “1” bit to indicate a segment is present, and a “clear”, or “0” bit to indicate a segment is missing. The size of the bitmap is determined dynamically to assure a two-bit buffer zone of clear bits around a polygon's maximum extent. If the user selected polygon crosses one or more maps, the polygon is subdivided into several new polygons.
