Description
Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations and environmental conditions. VSI proposes GEOSIM, a background simulation capability designed to recreate geographic locations for a range of resolution, spectral signatures, and environmental conditions by leveraging government-owned & open-source data resources and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. VSI is uniquely suited to this project, offering expertise in artificial intelligence & machine learning, 3D reconstruction, 3D simulation, and remote sensing; extensive experience in the development of innovative software solutions for challenging defense and intelligence problems; and a thorough understanding of the needs of digital engineering scientists across the defense and intelligence community.
