HTTP Technology, Inc. completes revolutionary technology demonstrator
HTTP Technology, Inc., a US corporation based in London, has announced that it has completed the demonstrator for its Stochastic Perception Engine (SPE). The demonstrator, named Foxan, shows for the first time the potential power of the SPE technology in practical applications and is already being used in discussions with potential partners. The SPE itself is a data analysis tool, which has been designed to be embedded into the core of other applications to create a step change in their performance. The system's performance in the analysis of multispectral remote sensing imagery makes it suitable not only for defence sector applications such as surveillance and reconnaissance, but also for many others. The SPE can be used to identify mineral deposits underground, subsurface water supplies, oil and indeed anything it is programmed to find which leaves a traceable signature. It is capable of processing massive amounts of data, whether that data be acquired using standard photogrammetric techniques or through ground penetrating radar, seismic studies, sonar or other more exotic physical measurement techniques.
