3 Phoenix, Inc. (3Pi) was awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under Navy topic N091-066 “In-Situ Learning for Underwater Object Recognition”. Under this topic 3Pi is developing innovative algorithms to efficiently detect and classify underwater objects in a statistically non-stationary environment. In particular the algorithms will be designed for automatic target recognition of mines in littoral environments with initial training data from similar but not exact environmental settings. The proposed algorithms have the potential to reduce operator load while reducing false positives in classification.
