On March 5, Seattle, WA-based Rendered.ai, a platform for synthetic data generation, and Reston, VA-based Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Rendered.ai’s Master Government Aggregator, making the company’s innovative synthetic computer vision data subscription services and products available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners contracts.
“We are pleased to partner with Carahsoft to enhance Rendered.ai’s ability to supply the public sector with its revolutionary AI training solutions,” said Nathan Kundtz PhD, CEO of Rendered. ai. “Carahsoft’s established reputation as a trusted distributor for both defense and civilian agencies facilitates ample opportunities for our joint public sector customers to learn about and take advantage of our offerings.”
Large volumes of expensive and hard-to-obtain data are required for training computer vision algorithms. The Rendered.ai Platform as a Service addresses these data procurement issues by connecting customers with simulation technology from Rendered.ai partners and the company’s own proprietary technology. The platform includes a web experience for team and organization management that also empowers data scientists and computer vision engineers to configure dataset generation in a no-code interface. In addition, the Rendered.ai team is currently working on a containerized version of the platform for private cloud and air-gapped use cases.
The company has partnered with the Rochester Institute of Technology’s DIRS Laboratory to provide access to the physically accurate simulator, DIRSIG™, in the cloud. Rendered.ai has a commercial license from NVIDIA to offer the Rendered.ai Channel for NVIDIA Omniverse for hosted synthetic data generation. Rendered.ai is also an Esri partner and can provide access to base maps and imagery services for synthetic scene creation.
These partnerships and Rendered.ai’s offerings have enabled the company to service customers with needs for remote sensing imagery including RGB, hyperspectral, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Customers can access Rendered.ai and third-party tools in a hosted cloud environment with team-based job and compute management capabilities that allows customers to create an almost limitless amount of AI training datasets in the AWS cloud.
“We are excited to announce the addition of Rendered.ai to our portfolio,” said Michael Adams, program executive for AI solutions at Carahsoft. “In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and machine learning, it’s vital for the government to keep pace and work to integrate these technologies to serve the public sector. Working with Rendered.ai and our reseller partners enables us to supply the latest AI/ML solutions to our joint government customers while supporting their procurement of cutting-edge technology.”
