An Advanced Learning Framework for High Dimensional Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing Data

Improve the use of land cover data by developing an advanced framework for robust classification using multi-source datasets: Develop, validate and optimize a generalized multi-kernel, active learning (MKL-AL) pattern recognition framework for multi-source data fusion. Develop both single- and ensemble-classifier versions (MKL-AL and Ensemble-MKL-AL) of the system. Utilize multi-source remotely sensed and in situ data to create land-cover classification and perform accuracy assessment with available labeled data; utilize first results to query new samples that, if inducted into the training of the system, will significantly improve classification performance and accuracy.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
