Notice of proposed cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) negotiations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is contemplating entering into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with 3DI, LLC to develop a semi-autonomous classification algorithm that can accurately map land cover units using satellite and airborne imagery, primarily radar data. Algorithm development will not be restricted to radar data because some applications and some land-cover units will also require the use of optical data to uniquely identify particular surface units or materials. This development will also include algorithms to prepare image data for classification and to perform post-classification analyses to refine the classifier's results.
INQUIRIES: If any other parties are interested in similar activities with the USGS, please contact: Philip A. Davis Jr.; 520-556-7133; pdavis@usgs.gov.

This notice is to meet the USGS requirement stipulated in the Survey Manual.
