20120194558 | METEOROLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS TOOLSET - System and method for providing access to ArcMap netCDF utilities and adding support for observational data to ArcMap including, but not limited to, comparing observational data to model data in a graphical manner, and maintaining the security classifications for each layer in ArcMap so that the highest security classification of the data being viewed is known at all times. | 08-02-2012 |
20120109601 | METHOD FOR FORECASTING A MAGNETIC OR ELECTRICAL ENVIRONMENT FROM AN OCEAN VOLUME - A method of ocean property forecasting. The method includes generating one of a magnetic field prediction and an electric field prediction between a first observation point and a plurality of uniform ocean cells by generating a vector sum of magnetic field contributions from a plurality of magnetic field vectors and a vector sum of electric field contributions from a plurality of electric field vectors, respectively. The method further includes generating one of a magnetic field forecast and an electric field forecast of the ocean volume at a second observation point in the ocean volume by re-using the magnetic field vectors and electric field vectors and scaling one of the plurality of magnetic field vectors and the plurality of electric field vectors by a plurality of tri-axial equivalent electrical currents with identical geometry to the first observation point. | 05-03-2012 |
20120089381 | AUTOMATED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING HIGH RESOLUTION TIDAL HEIGHTS AND CURRENTS IN COASTAL ZONES - System and method for automatically and regularly predicting water level and currents in coastal areas, without operator intervention. The system and method can enable, automated operational forecasts at regular time intervals without operator intervention by using a grid and a computer forecast model that allows accurate prediction of tidal heights and currents in complex shoreline and bathymetry regions, single or parallel processing capability, optimal available processor assignment based on the size of computing domain, standard and other tidal database forcing in the open boundary, missing data gap-filling, and wind, bathymetry, and model-derived boundary condition model integration. | 04-12-2012 |
20120069710 | Method and System for Real-time Automated Change Detection and Classification for Images - A computer based system and method for real-time display of co-registered historical and current side scan sonar imagery during a side scan sonar survey. Embodiments also include modules for detection of clutter in the current imagery, identification of features, extraction of snippets, filtering based on predetermined size and shape parameters, and determination if a current feature is the same as a previously identified contact from historical imagery. | 03-22-2012 |
20110282636 | Variable Resolution Uncertainty Expert System for Digital Bathymetry Database - System and method for estimating uncertainty by obtaining conditional probability densities of bathymetric uncertainty due to navigation error and bottom slope using a Monte Carlo technique, using the Monte Carlo results to train a Bayesian Network to provide the causal relationships of navigation error and bottom slope to bathymetric uncertainty, producing a histogram of bathymetric uncertainty from the Bayesian Network of the uncertainty for an area similar to the training set area, and estimating the uncertainty based on the histogram produced by the Bayesian Network. | 11-17-2011 |
20110210208 | TECHNIQUE FOR DE-ORBITING SMALL DEBRIS FROM THE NEAR-EARTH SPACE ENVIRONMENT - System and method for inducing rapid reentry of orbital debris including determining a spatial extent of the orbital debris, and deploying dust to the orbital debris to enhance the drag on the orbital debris. | 09-01-2011 |
