Description

Research Topic Description, including Problem Statement:

Problem Statement: Given real-time Full-Motion Video data from multiple cameras with different view angles covering 360° view of the scene, solve the problem of multi-camera video fusion, 3D scene reconstruction or rendering, and 3D scene understanding to gain situational awareness of the people, objects, and their relative motion.

Example Approaches:

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for novel views of complex 30 scenes based on partial set of 20 images, Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)- Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models, State Space Models for Time-Series, Mixture Density Network for estimating 6 DoF pose, Attention-based Scan Matching, Large Language Models (LLMs), and ChatGPT.

Relevance to the Intelligence Community:

Timing holdover in the absence of GPS, is a serious challenge. One way the DoD/IC is looking to address this is via portable and ultra-stable clocks. We aim to develop a clock capable of holding ns stability for month duration. The envisioned sensor will provide quality data to a resolution capable of supporting DOD’s Alternative Positioning and Navigation applications.

Key Words: Video Understanding, Multi-Camera Fusion, Time-Series Data Preprocessing, 3D Scene Reconstruction, Computer Vision, Edge Al Accelerator, Video Question -Answering, Large Language Models, Prompt Engineering.
