16 -- IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS SOL N68936 DUE 102698 POC Joanne Shepter, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7651 14 -- IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS. As part of a market survey, the Naval Air Systems Command and its field activity Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS), China Lake CA. are seeking information about existing mathematical algorithms which can be used to quickly and accurately process large quantities of image information. The image processing algorithms will be loaded into existing processors, such as those used by Pentium-based personal computers, to quickly process EO, IR, and RF imagery. The amount of imagery which will be stored for simultaneous processing may be as many as 500 digitized scenes. Algorithms which employ training should minimize training passes as a time-saving feature. The subject algorithms will provide the capability to compact the image data in order to minimize the required computer memory as much as possible. The Navy's interest is in algorithms which provide the capability to quickly perform pattern recognition correlations of the stored imagery with real time imagery. Possible uses of the pattern recognition capabilities include autonomous real time comparison of stored target scenes with real time scenes in unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous target recognition and track of ships and land targets by standoff missiles. The intent of this announcement is to survey the sources and capabilities of already developed image processing algorithms. The subject algorithms must exist and be non-developmental. Respondees to this announcement should provide a description of their algorithms, computer memory and throughput requirements, a description of pattern recognition tasks currently being performed by those algorithms and user references. Training requirements, if any, should be described. Respondees shall clearly mark any information which is proprietary and/or patented. No classified information shall be sent. This announcement is a request for information only and is not an RFP or announcement of a solicitation. Respondents may not be notified of the results of this request for information. Responses are required not later than 1500 PDT, 26 Oct 98. No vendors conference is anticipated. Responses should be addressed to Dell Hledik, Contracting Officer, Code 210000D, Naval Air Warfare Center, 1 Administration Circle, China Lake, CA 93555 of Joanne Shepter, Contract Specialist, Code 210000D, 1 Administration Circle, China Lake CA, 93555l-6100, (760) 939-7651, Fax, (760) 939-4241, E-Mail, jshepter@ban.chinalake.navy.mil.
