Major objectives of this project

To develop new methodologies for data acquisition, processing, interpretation  

To integrate multiple technologies focusing Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP ) methodology and interpretation that guide discovery of new oil reserves, oil field development and management for maximum economic oil recovery. 

To make use of Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) methodology also known as sectional profile for prospecting minefield development and management for maximum economic recovery of various minerals and gems.  

Sub-objectives of this project:  

To device methodologies for collecting data from underground of the earth crust. Data acquisition sensors like Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) / Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Microwave pulse transmitters could be used to achieve this. Other seismographic techniques could also be used alternatively or in association with SAR/ GPR.   Data collected from various sensors could be integrated as a data set from which quite a lot of information about the subsurface elements could be interpreted with Multiple Sensor Fusion. Fast and reliable algorithms for extracting information from the data set is the major R&D component involved in this project.  

To develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Expert System Software Package as an integrated component with a given GeoData Processing requirement. Miners, Civil Engineers and Archaeologists would find this package very useful.  

To develop a state-of-the-art technology to use the above tools for detecting oil, minerals and gems reserve in a particular area from which genuine and reliable data set has been collected.  As a part of this project a few people would be trained in the state-of–the-art operational methodology of Oil Exploration.

This project is aimed at establishing a privately owned modern oncological research center with multiples of nodal centers throughout the country interconnected via satellites. This is the need of the hour project whose prime objective is to reduce mortalities due to late detection of cancer in patients and if possible eradicate the dreaded disease from earth. 

Converting DNA sequences into digital signals opens up the possibility of applying signal-processing methods for analysis of genomic data. This kind of analysis reveals features of chromosome that would be difficult to grasp using standard statistical methods. Genomic information is coded in the form of letters A, T, C and G. The indicator sequences of a genomic sequence form the basis for genomic signal processing. Research in this direction has already shown the possibility of developing strategies related to Codon Space Analysis and Stem Cell Research so that a new possibility of adopting ‘gene therapy’ instead of ‘drug therapy’ would turn out to be the futuristic medical practice. 

Application Areas 

• People • Governments • Hospitals • Academic institutions 

Transaction Automation System for Banking Security is an ATM system integrated with a built-in AI based software. This could be made available as a ready-made product for international marketing.

The purpose of this project is to develop a state-of-the-art paradigm and practical techniques for carrying out operations pertaining to ‘Electronic Support Measures (ESM)’, identify various problems faced by the ESM operators in real time situations and explore the possibilities of evolving solutions to these problems in the form of alternative techniques and methodologies. The term ‘Electronic Support Measures’ refers to 

Intercepting, Recording, and Analyzing the recorded waveforms for estimating various radar system and signal parameters like Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) or Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI), Pulse Width (PW), intra pulse modulation types and details, stagger ratio, jitter, antenna scan type, scan time and type of radiation pattern, Estimating important details like Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF), radar on time, radar off time and preparing Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) records. EOB means estimated details about the offensive and defensive capabilities of a country. ESM operations are generally carried out by organizing special mission flights along the border for radar signal intercepts. Daily intercepts are also made from strategic locations. This project aims at the development of a state-of-the-art software support system for Electronic Warfare Officers working in ‘Electronic Intelligence’ and ‘Electronic Order of Battle’ and with the formulation of upgraded versions of such techniques. 

Application Areas

Problem  

Coastlines are susceptible for infiltration by intruders and illegal immigrants.  

Solution by Interception and Surveillance 

All monitoring stations make use of radio, radar, video, infra-red, and sonar intercept and surveillance systems. All the sensors to be used for this purpose would be IP enabled and operational semantics would invoke a net-centric ‘Command and Control (C2)’ strategy. Hybrid Network model consisting of all kinds of sensors, transmitters, receivers linked to C2 base station   

Extrapolation 

Intercepted data would be encrypted using proprietary algorithms for onward secured transmission to C2 base station for instant processing and decision making.   

Solution for illegal entry 

Three layer fence strategy to monitor and prevent illegal entry (1) Electromagnetic (2) Laser/Optical/ Infrared (3) Unmanned Submarines  

Team and Talent

 Pentagram Research UK with its Indian research center has a large team of highly qualified and self-motivated international scientists and technologists. They are currently working ''without any support'' on the possibility of developing an integrated Coastal Surveillance Support System involving various security activities of Electronic Support Measures. With ample support from interested companies as collaborator or associates, we would be able to realize the project which would enable security agencies to ensure safe and secured zones free from intrusion. The major beneficiary is the government without which this project would remain as a dream.

Safe Travel System 

At every moment and location, the motorist has to decide his escape route based on a priori knowledge about the current threat position. This integrated product is an expert system that dynamically estimates security status in terms of 'Threat Indicator' to the motorist and hence it plays a very significant role ensuring safe and threat free travel to all those motorists who use this facility.  

CPSS is a RedZone Map APP, which is a deep learning cognitive system that employs Bayesian detector-estimator for predicting the occurrence of a crime or a finite set of crimes at a place and at a particular instant or duration of time. This amounts to saying that we should be able to see or predict ‘near future events’ now. This is the concept of ‘Today’s Tomorrow’. The basic crime prediction procedure is an AI based expert system that considers not only the crime data base but also many other collateral information.  The AI Based Deep Learning, Reproductive and Self Organizing Neural 3D Network Architecture is called Crime Prediction Support System (CPSS). CPSS admits two major input segments (1) crime statistics and (2) chronological events that instigate crime activities. Chronological events that instigate crime activities need not be crime activities but they may be their cause. Mostly these events are geopolitical, socio economic, religious, dogmatic, communal, anti-social, civil rebellious, injustice, sedition, treason, sabotage, domestic violence, cybercrime, to name a few. 

This Military Version TIPS 1.0 has already been developed using Visual C++ tools. Algorithms have been generated in the framework of Cellular Logic Array Processing. The software has been tested for its precision, speed and robustness. 2D thermal streaming video could be processed in real time for extracting various spatial and spectral domain features. TIPS 1.0 consists of a number of routines and it provides facility for user driven macro generation. All extracted spatial features of a 2D video image could be quantified provided it is scaled. This software works reliably even on thermal images obtained in pitch dark using an IR camera or any other night vision camera. This could be customized for any hardware. Extensive research has been carried out in this particular area and a number of proto type products developed to process day light optical images and pitch dark IR / thermal images..
