Vision AI

Taking Computer Vision Further with Booz Allen

Computer vision uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to identify, categorize, and analyze objects or changes within images and videos. Popular applications include automated object identification and tracking, pattern recognition, and real-time anomaly detection. Increasingly, these systems can also peer into non-visible transmissions, such as the infrared and radio parts of the spectrum. But efficiently scaling and operationalizing computer-vision applications means overcoming critical challenges, from cost-efficiently gathering data and fine-tuning models to achieving mission-critical performance outside of the enterprise cloud.

20%-80% Reduction in Real Data Need

Superior data engineering methods to label, organize, and augment data

Booz Allen’s Replicant™ synthetic data suite and integrations with commercial off-the-shelf solutions show huge savings in real data needed to build models, reducing cost and time for data collection.

10-Times Faster for Label and Train Processes

Accelerated data pipelines

We bring agile model development to the mission by pairing our proprietary rapid training methods with partner RAIC Labs’ Rapid Automatic Image Categorization™ (RAIC) software, which delivers rapid, semi-supervised labeling capability.

4 Times Faster for Typical Single-Shot Detectors

SWaP-optimized AI

We provide flexibility in running AI from the Internet of Things (IoT) edge to the cloud through integration of partner Latent AI’s Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP), helping optimize models for specific chipsets to drive inference.

Multi-Spectral Data Fusion

Optimization to best-fit computer vision methods on different compute hardware

We enable organizations to build, deliver, and re-train a variety of electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), radio frequency (RF), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery-based classification, detection, and tracking solutions. Extendable to support new data fusion algorithms within our existing pipelines.
