With funding from both the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research and the Raytheon Company, in combination with substantial IR&D support, Prometheus Scientists are using noncommutative group harmonic analysis to automatically detect and identify underwater mines in side scan sonar data.
This technique has been validated on real data and is ready for implementation in a prototype system as well as application in other arenas such as passive sonar, radar, EO/IR object detection and classification, cryptography, land mine detection, and to automatically identify anomalies in CAT and MRI scanning information. The underlying mathematics is presented in the book Group Filters and Image Processing (Psypher Press, 2003) written by two Prometheus Principal Scientists, Myoung An and Richard Tolimieri.
