Completed TRL 5 (started at 3, targeting 5)
At Stennis Space Center in MS, the ECI team is developing a high speed video camera that records fast-moving objects/events, which incorporates the use of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. This combined novel imaging technique will enable one camera to create a greater dynamic range of luminosity--not previously achievable using standard digital imaging techniques. Adding HDR imaging will increase the camera's light range so that multiple light levels can be captured with high speed video, and image washout (saturation) can be effectively eliminated. This capability housed within one camera does not currently exist.

Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.
This is early/mid-stage (TRL 5) — 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.
