1. DOT SBIR Phase II Prototype Field Trial
Working with Massachusetts Highway Engineering, Migma has successfully completed a three-week long unattended field trial of its pedestrian detection prototype at a busy state highway intersection. This prototype is developed under SBIR Phase I/II funding from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The goal is to detect pedestrians walking across the crosswalk while avoiding detections of vehicles. It is designed to operate in both daytime and night time, under any weather conditions, 24/7. The field trial results have confirmed the outstanding performance of this prototype. Migma expects to receive Phase III funding from FHWA in helping make the final pedestrian detection product. The following pictures show the field trial installation at a state highway intersection and the operational system after its installation.
2. Army SBIR Phase II Field Trial
Under SBIR Phase I/II funding from Army NVESD, Migma has developed a prototype of vehicle-based landmine detection system. During a recent field test at an Army test site, this prototype has successfully performed the landmine detection in real-time. To improve the system detection performance, it utilizes a high resolution LWIR camera and a sophisticated gyro stabilizer. Army has expressed its interest in providing further funding to add additional features and bring the final product to the field. The following pictures show the prototype system mounted on the top of a moving vehicle.
3. Additional Navy Funding for Submarine Detection Technology at Migma
Migma has developed a sophisticated false alarm mitigator for submarine detections. It can be used to identify the target tracks in a highly cluttered ocean environment. By analyzing the sensor reports, both positive and negative, in a sparse undersea sensor network, this system can effectively help operator eliminate the false alarms and track the true targets. Navy has expressed its interest in providing additional funding to further test this system using real sensor data.
Migma has made a significant improvement in its natural gas leak detection technologies. The current system is robust to the sunlight changes resulting from different weather conditions and season changes. It can operate in any weather conditions and anytime during the year, except at night. It is also insensitive to the ambient methane. Migma is currently conducting extensive field tests and expects to have field trials at New York City in September, 2008.
Migma currently has job opportunities in the following areas:
- Software GUI development in Linux environment - Real-time implementation of software algorithms in Linux environment - Algorithm development in image processing and signal processing
Details of job requirements will be made available in coming weeks. Candidates are welcome to contact Migma for the job interview.
