U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), located in Hanover, New Hampshire, builds innovative products that support the warfighter, water resources, environment, infrastructure and homeland security. CRREL uses a multi-disciplinary research approach that solves the most difficult environmental physics and cold region engineering problems. With recognized international expertise, CRREL fosters partnerships across government agencies, academia and industry to solve complex problems.
What will I be doing?
Environmental phenomenology plays a fundamental role in the capabilities of our sensors to detect obscure objects. Lack of diurnal stimulant or an abundance of soil volumetric water content hinders an automatic target recognition (ATR) algorithm’s performance. Mining this environmental dataset and constructing correlations with object visibility offers greater insight into this degradation. Ultimately, highly resolved and robust environmental data is a necessity for training. Thus, ERDC-CRREL is interested in translating their findings towards development of a central library.
The library structure is desired to take the form of a distributed execution framework, or DEF. It will be mutable and modular to enable continuing optimization for both adaptability and consistency. This library will be designed to link to any external programs in a way to enable parallel execution from any platform.
Under the guidance of a mentor, you will participate in the construction of a rudimentary library base on the environmental datasets collected in Hanover, NH. ERDC-CRREL's in-house ATR algorithms will incorporate the library’s routines to test feasibility, and if successful, expand and incorporate other environmental and meteorological data collected at other locales. Ultimately, the architecture of this refined library will be transformed into a graphical user interface (GUI) for portable and real-time field operation. You will gain knowledge by being a part of a multidisciplinary team and applying your classroom training towards real-world problems.
