Building and testing reliable machine vision Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems requires access to large amounts of high-quality, labeled data. For homeland security applications, there are several barriers to getting this data: 1) threats are constantly evolving; 2) tailored sensor data (particularly threat data) is expensive to acquire; 3) manual annotation is time consuming; and 4) security datasets are massive and difficult to share. To address these challenges, Cignal created the Cignal Engine prototype which is a suite of simulation and multi-spectral data lifecycle tools to support machine vision AI Development and Operations (DevOps). This technology requires further maturation before transition to the Transportation Securit...
