AI.Reverie has secured Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from AFWERX for the US Air Force (USAF).<\/p>\n
Under the $1.5m contract, AI.Reverie will build artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and improve navigation capabilities supporting the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base (AFB).<\/p>\n
The company will use synthetic data to train and improve the accuracy of vision algorithms for navigation through its Rapid Capabilities office.<\/p>\n
Synthetic data or computer-generated images are economical and can be generated faster than hand-labelled photos, solving the limitations associated with real data. <\/p>\n
The advanced technology creates vision algorithms needed to save lives during operations.<\/p>\n
Phase 2 SBIR contract awarded to AI.Reverie follows its co-publication with the IQT Lab CosmiQ Works that highlighted the value of synthetic data to train computer vision algorithms.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the research partners released RarePlanes for academic and commercial use with open dataset of real and synthetic overhead imagery. <\/p>\n
USAF Major Anthony Bunker said: As the world has gotten smaller, the ability to navigate based on visual terrain features has become an ever-increasing challenge.<\/p>\n
Computer vision algorithms can be trained to recognise these world-wide terrain features by ingesting large amounts of diverse data.<\/p>\n
We are excited to collaborate with AI.Reverie to improve navigation capabilities given the companys ability to generate fully annotated data at scale with its synthetic data platform.<\/p>\n
In May this year, AI.Reverie and Green Revolution Cooling (GRC) secured AFWERX SBIR Phase I contract from the USAF. The contract was for enhancing computer vision models for the US Department of Defense (DoD). <\/p>\n
