Description

The NIWC Atlantic Palmetto Tech Bridge (PTB) is seeking innovative technical approaches for 3 different problem statements. Participants can submit up to one technical approach per topic.1. Computer Vision Surprise ChallengeArtificial Intelligence (AI) methods for detection and classification of objects of interest in imagery or video is extremely important for Naval Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), self-driving cars, x-ray analysis, digital inspection in manufacturing, and other applications. Most methods to perform this task are achieved using supervised machine learning, where a set of labeled training data is employed to optimize a model-s parameters to improve accuracy. However, what happens when these models in operation see novel objects or conditions that were not seen during training? This competition is aimed at finding innovative techniques for handling these situations for image detection and/or classification. We are specifically looking for solutions that can best account for one or more of four problems: (1) the background environment has significantly changed from the training set (for example, weather or lighting conditions), (2) a different camera is being used during operation than during training, (3) new types of objects or classes now need to be identified that weren-t present during training, and (4) the character of the object itself has changed such that it may be harder to identify (e.g., a sticker was placed on a STOP sign that slightly changes its appearance, such that a human can still identify it as a STOP sign easily but an algorithm may encounter difficulty). Additionally, if these detected objects could also be authenticated using advanced image classification technologies that would also be of interest.2. Risky Facility Location ChallengeGiven a limited number of facilities that can be built, we wish to know the best location to place each facility to meet geographical demands, costs, capacities, ...
