Description

The Institute for Technology Development (ITD) is a not-for-profit company that develops applications of satellite, airborne, field or laboratory imagery. Airborne and ground imagery includes our patented hyperspectral and multispectral sensors. Expertise focuses on extracting knowledge from imagery to satisfy a need and then packaging it as a solution and/or a product. Public-private partnerships are created to drive the research and commercial objectives of this work. ITD personnel apply cutting edge and creative image analysis techniques to extract knowledge from imagery that can support a decision about a target contained in the image. For example, in crop production, imaging is used to reduce the amount of herbicides applied to cotton, while in biopathogen detection, imaging technology is being used to detect and quantify aflatoxins. ITD has a 21 year proven track record for converting its applied research results into commercial products or services. Our hyperspectral sensors were recently spin-off to Lextel Intelligence Systems. InTime, Inc. another ITD spin-off, services our nation's farmers with real-time prescription maps for applying crop chemicals.
