- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to include the following change: (1) Section I Funding Opportunity Description: Add Focus Area for FY14. No other changes have been made. Focus Area for FY14 Client / Server Approach to Processing and Visualization of Massive Point Cloud Datasets Historical LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) collection efforts have already generated massive datasets, and new efforts are collecting as much as 1 Terabyte of data per hour of flight. Currently available applications/toolkits for processing point cloud data have several limitations which prohibit scalability, timely dissemination and analysis. AFRL proposes to develop an algorithmic approach allowing for server/service based solutions that will facilitate the development of custom remote clients (both thin, and thick) to access point cloud data for the purpose of visualization, and analysis. Primary research topics of interest are client side visualization techniques that work in conjunction with a server to allow seamless pan/zoom operations on a global scale. Massive datasets are too large to move to the client, and will require the server to make sophisticated decisions based on each type of client. A visualization client's requirements might include level of detail, viewing angle, or distance, while an analysis client's requirements would be significantly different. The ability to select from any combination of available data based on geographic region, collection time, characteristics, or other parameters would be a requirement for any client type. Additional research topics of interest are utilization of server/service to perform various forms of analysis such as surface reconstruction, pattern classification, or change detection. Research topics are intended to be algorithmic in nature, and not dependent on any specific hardware. While this effort is primarily concerned with processing data after the collection platform has returned, techniques that can be applied to both post, and inflight processing are of interest. White papers for this topic will be due by 18 Oct 2013. Awards will not exceed 24 months with dollar amounts ranging from $300,000-$1,000,000 per award. For this Focus Area ONLY: Aaron McVay will be the technical point of contact and you may submit unclassified white papers electronically to: Aaron.Mcvay.3@us.af.mil If you believe that the submission is classified, please send it via U.S. Postal Service, registered mail and addressed to AFRL/RIGC, 525 Brooks Road, Rome NY 13441-4505, and reference BAA-RIK-12-02. The technical point of contact information for this focus area ONLY: Aaron McVay; Tel: 315-330-4780 All other information remains the same.
