Modern warfighters are informed by an expanding variety of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sources, but the timely exploitation of this data poses a significant challenge. ObjectVideo ("OV") presents a system, Mobile ISR to facilitate ISR knowledge discovery for expeditionary warfighters. The aim is to collect, manage, and deliver time-critical information when and where...
Selective neuronal loss is the hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), most motor neurons die but those innervating extraocular, pelvic sphincter, and slow limb muscles exhibit selective resistance. We identified 18 genes that show >10-fold differential expression between resistant and vulnerable motor neurons. One of these, matrix metalloproteinase-9...
This paper presents an overview of self-contained automated video analytics units that are man-portable and constitute nodes of a large-scale distributed sensor network. The paper highlights issues with traditional video surveillance systems in volatile environments such as a battle field and provides solutions to them in the form of Rapidly Deployable Video Analysis sensors. We discuss scientific...
Modern automated video analysis systems consist of large networks of heterogeneous sensors. These systems must extract, integrate and present relevant information from the sensors in real-time. This paper addresses some of the major challenges such systems face: efficient video processing for high-resolution sensors; data fusion across multiple modalities; robustness to changing environmental conditions...
Bioremediation of fuel oil spills requires a sensitive biological detection system that determines the degree of impact in a predictable, log-linear fashion based on soil pollutant concentrations. Tradescantia plants were transplanted into soil contaminated with fresh No. 2 diesel fuel at 0, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 mg kg -1 and followed for phytotoxicity and mutagenicity based on plant...
