About the CTD contract
In late June 2005, Iatia signed a $2,700,000 contract with the Defence Department’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). This Capability and Technology Demonstrator (CTD) contract is the largest announced by the Department under that round of CTD activities. Defence represents a new field of application for Iatia’s unique imaging technology. It utilises conventional digital imaging capability, and produces a new image based on shape information alone that is independent of the image provided by colour and contrast. This image is then suitable for further processing by conventional image enhancement, image-processing and image-recognition software. The potential uses include passive ranging, shape imaging, defeating camouflage, and in developing novel image processing algorithms. Iatia is now developing a reflection-based algorithm suitable for extending shape imaging to greater distances.
