Technical Approach

• Complete Database and User Interface of Representative NASA Datasets Stored in at Least 2 Unique Formats, Easily Readable by the University Community, along with:
  • Basic Knowledge of Application Domains
  • "Ground-Truth" Results
  • Specific Problems to be Solved, as Defined by Domain Scientists

Main Innovation(s)

• Selection of Problems and Data Representative of NASA Applications and Challenges/ First NASA-centric Benchmark Image Database
• "Friendly" Data Formats with Original Data Registered with Ground Truth Data

Infusion Potential

• Current and Future NASA Science Imaging Missions, e.g.:
  • LDCM (Landsat Data Continuity Mission)
  • LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter)
  • HyspIRI (Hyperspectral InfraRed Imager)
