Team Description:

Kitware is a leader in advanced research and algorithm development in artificial intelligence (AI), spanning computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), vision-language models (VLMs), and other generative AI technologies. Our solutions embracing AI add measurable value to government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions worldwide. We have developed a deep understanding in extracting useful, actionable information from multiple data sources like images, video, metadata, audio, and text, and we recognize the need for robust, affordable solutions. We seek to advance AI, CV, and other related fields through research and development and collaborative projects that can contribute to our open source software platforms, such as XAITK, NRTK, and GeoWATCH.

About the Projects:

Kitware’s employees have unique opportunities to interact and collaborate directly with customers, visit interesting customer sites, and participate in live field tests and demonstrations. Much of Kitware’s work involves applying state-of-the-art artificial intelligence approaches to dynamic, real-world problems. We consider the work that we do on our government contracts as one of the ways that we give back to the community. We partner with premier government R&D agencies such as DARPA, IARPA, AFRL, Army C5ISR, NOAA, and other branches of the US Government on a range of efforts, including prime contracts, SBIRs, and STTRs. In addition, we provide commercial services to companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Kitware employs an open source business model to foster extended, collaborative communities and to provide effective, flexible, and high-quality technical solutions.
