NIST Issues 3D Imaging Opportunities SBIR Solicitation

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s recently issued fiscal year 2010 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation, Phase 1, includes a few topics directly related to 3D imaging: Self-Calibrating Camera Networks for Rapid Deployment, High-frame Rate, Foveated 3D Imaging System and 3D Imaging Sensor System for Robotic Platform. The solicitation for the three-phase program includes subtopics describing research needed to extend technologies developed at NIST for the purpose of commercializing the NIST technology as well as subtopics describing NIST mission-related research that directly support a NIST project that can be achieved by a small business. Questions and responses about the subtopics should be directed through the NIST SBIR Web site.
