United States - TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: VISAR Video Analysis and Editing Software (TOP8-58)

Description

Added: Oct 03, 2019 2:15 pm

NASA's Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology.  License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.  NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.

THE TECHNOLOGY:
 
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Video Image Stabilization and Registration (VISAR) software makes jittery video easier to watch and dramatically clarifies poor quality video by removing shakes, jitters, blurring, rotation, and zoom and shear effects.  Developed by NASA to track solar and weather phenomena, the technology has also found success processing images in other fields like medicine and law enforcement.  Many high-profile investigations such as bomb force and abduction cases have relied on VISAR to improve video evidence, and numerous major media broadcasts have featured VISAR, including CNN, ABC News, and Discovery Channel, among others.  Now NASA is seeking partners to license VISAR and commercialize it as a stand-alone, plug-in, or fully integrated component for the desktop or as part of a professional post-processing system.

To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA's Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP8-58

If you have any questions, please contact Cory Efird, Project Coordinator, Marshall Space Flight Center at cory.efird@nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.  For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/

These responses are provided to members of NASA's Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.  No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
