- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Optical Technology Division (OTD) intends to negotiate on a Sole Source Basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), Only One Source Reasonably Available with American University, Washington DC 20016-8116 to obtain the services of Angela Y. Wu, Ph.D. The Engineering Metrology Group at the National Institutes for Standards and Technology is engaged in research to advance the accuracy of dimensional measurements. As part of this effort EMG is involved in a number of projects involving computer vision. One of the most significant problems in obtaining accurate measurement of dimensions with video cameras is the need to do subpixel interpolation. This project is focused on obtaining detailed information video camera pixel sensitivity to incoming light. The purpose of this procurement is to acquire the services of the proposed contractor to program and document the new Measurement Data Collection in accordance with the following three (3) tasks: Task 1: Interface the designated EMG computer to a state of the art, Cohu CA-D8-0512 frame store with LVDS digital interface. Utilize the National Instruments Programming Systems, LavView and EMACS, to build a software system to control the video board, and to record a specific region of interest to a file when prompted. Task 2. Interface the computer system to the NIST M48 Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). Task 3. Develop an interface and programming for the digital thermometry used in the measurement system to allow control and storage of time stamped data. Analysis shall consist of Least Squares Fit and robust methods, i.e., Least median of Deviations and Least Median of Squares. The codes developed for Task 1 - 3 shall be the deliverables. The proposed contractor possesses 20 years breadth of experience and recognition in the fields of computer image processing and computer vision, in particular, in vision algorithms and programming. She is a published author of many books and articles on the subject. Many of her articles may be found in computer vision journals such as IEEE Transactions in Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and Computer Vision, Graphics and Image Processing. A firm-fixed price purchase order is anticipated with a period of performance of 3 months. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITION; no solicitation is available, however, interested parties may express, in writing, their interest and document their bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement NLT May 21, 2 PM EST. Such information will be reviewed to determine if it is necessary to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government.
