Prague, July 10 (CTK) - Czech scientists may help develop U.S. military automatic vehicles and pilotless aircraft, for which the results of “stereoscopic imaging,” developed at Czech Technical University in Prague (CVUT), can be used, Professor Vaclav Hlavac told CTK Thursday. 

Americans have shown interest in the project developed at the CVUT’s Centre of machine perception, Hlavac said, adding that he hoped the cooperation would bring money for further research.

A total of 119 Czech scientific and industrial institutes are now listed for future cooperation with the U.S. on the anti-missile defence system.

The exact version of the U.S.-Czech framework agreement on such cooperation was completed on Wednesday.

First deputy foreign minister Tomas Pojar said the framework agreement on scientific cooperation would be signed within two to three months.

“The access of our businesspeople, our firms, our scientific and research workplaces will be facilitated,” Pojar said.

On Tuesday, the Czech Republic and the United States signed a treaty on the stationing of a radar base on Czech soil within the U.S. anti-missile shield.

Head of U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Henry Obering told CTK Thursday Americans had taken serious interest in the project.

“We are naturally glad that there is interest in our results,” Hlavac told CTK.

The centre employs about 30 researchers. “Stereoscopic imaging,” one of the projects they work on, can be used in the military industry.

“It can be used for an automatic vehicle equipped with a number of cameras, able to reconstruct the scene in which it moves,” Hlavac said.

“This means that it can chart the map of the surrounding area,” Hlavac said.

The vehicle can also examine the buildings after a fire when entry is dangerous for people.

The method can also be used in architecture. The researchers have created a three-dimension model of the door of the St Martin church in Prague.
