TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Anonymous Feature Processing for Enhanced Navigation (MSC-TOPS-129)

Scope

NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA Johnson Space Center have developed an innovative algorithmic and computational approach to vision-based feature recognition called Anonymous Feature Processing (AFP). The �anonymous� approach allows feature-based navigation techniques to be performed without the need for explicit correspondence/identification between visual system observations and cataloged map data, thus helping to eliminate costs and risks induced by identification procedures. By eliminating the error-prone and computationally…
