Identifying objects in remote sensing data is a challenging task that requires highly skilled and costly human experts to analyze massive amount of digital data. Neurala has developed a remote sensing software platform for the purpose of developing automatic methods to delineate water flow and soil loss from LIDAR data. The application of bio-inspired machine vision and classification algorithms is key to accurately and quickly process large amount of remote sensing data, extracting knowledge that is then applied to make better and faster decisions in soil conservation practices. |

Classifying sounds in real time in mobile platforms has great potential for civilian and military applications. Neurala collaborated with Biomimetic Systems (BMS) to perform acoustic scene classification for military applications. This work is part of a larger project called Red Owl, a collaboration between Boston University, iRobot, Insight Technology, and BMS. The system, assembled for use on iRobot’s unmanned PackBot robots, models of which are now deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, is designed to enhance the situational awareness of soldiers in the battlefield. The system is undergoing extensive testing by multiple groups within the armed forces. |
