Enhancing a LIDAR generated 3D dataset to facilitate battlefield visualization
Enhancing a LIDAR generated 3D dataset to facilitate battlefield visualization
USA, October 6, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Wikipedia states “The Kosovo Warfare was an armed battle in Kosovo that lasted from 28 February 1998 till 11 June 1999. It was fought between the forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (i.e. Serbia and Montenegro), which managed Kosovo earlier than the conflict, and the Kosovo Albanian insurgent group referred to as the Kosovo Liberation Military (KLA). The battle ended when the North Atlantic Treaty Group (NATO) intervened by starting air strikes in March 1999 which resulted in Yugoslav forces withdrawing from Kosovo.”
The conflict got here as a whole shock to many. What if an analogous conflict, some other place, had been to begin in the close to future. Wanting again at Kosovo, items utterly disappeared into deep forests. When the conflict ended, tanks emerged utterly unhurt. Recce operations appeared to be the blind main the blind.
Now, take into account a future related operation whereby the One World Terrain (OWT) dataset guides operations. Throughout altering operations, some parts of the One World Terrain (OWT) could be related and different parts would seemingly have modified (e.g., as a result of the OWT maps turn into be old-fashioned). Like Kosovo, suppose the disposition of forces may be very unsure. Key parts might have gone into the forests the place they will’t readily be detected by typical recce methods. What to do? TPMI’s Patent US 10,950,338, if built-in into Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), might facilitate an improved operation. Let me clarify.
For this situation, we postulate {that a} US Job Pressure has been ordered into the space of battle with the mission separating the opposing forces and making a peace zone. An early step could be to have LIDAR utterly cowl the space of operations. The return information could be a really massive 3D information set. Information parts might embrace elevation (or distance down from the LIDAR plane) and reflectivity. Reflectivity could be completely different for timber vs. camouflage nets, roads vs. autos, concrete buildings vs. metal, and so forth. Roads going by forested areas might disappear. And, the place are all these tanks hiding in the forest? TPMI ‘338 patented expertise applies synthetic intelligence (AI) to the 3D dataset, segments the 3D information set into discrete buildings and assigns properties to them similar to vegetation vs. camouflage materials. Tops of timber will be eliminated and, the place the laser beams bought by the tree leaves, tanks could possibly be uncovered/ outlined. Bunkers could be uncovered. Assuming several types of gear on opposing sides, mensuration could possibly be carried out, and forces delineated.
Now, when the commander, who occurs to like the digital sand desk, asks the G2/ S2 to put together one, voila! It will possibly occur. The digital sand desk could possibly be replete with drive parts and fortifications. The G3/ S3 might overlay his proposed plan. The commander and his/ her workers would all have an correct visualization of the battlefield.
Integrating TPMI’s ‘338 with TPMI’s ‘635, ‘639, ‘035, ‘133, ‘071 and ‘435 patented applied sciences into the IVAS which had been featured a number of current articles discussing main enhancements to the IVAS. This is a vital step in direction of enabling Military personnel to have the means to work together with the OWT in coaching workouts and fight conditions. TPMI goals to work with PEO Soldier and PEO STRI to combine these novel applied sciences into the IVAS.
About the creator: Dr. Robert Douglas is considered one of the few identified retired Soldiers who’ve 80+ USPTO awarded patents. This text discusses solely a small subset of the huge array of applied sciences in the above patents. This was the 30th patent mentioned on this collection of articles that’s related towards enhancing the army/ IVAS. Though just one idea is chosen from every patent for the related article, in actual fact, every patent consists of many related ideas. Extra to come on Synthetic Intelligence (AI), Augmented Actuality (AR), Blended Actuality (MR), and Digital Actuality (VR). Dr. Douglas is protecting at it – he’s at present underneath a consulting contract to CESI, the SETA contractor for OneSAF, and utilizing that mannequin, with Military approval, to assess effectiveness of superior sensor methods.
