Employment Duration1 yr 7 mos
In my first year, lead, researched, and developed over six projects, all of which are continuing or were selected for additional funding.
Selected Projects
• Visual Knowledge Discovery for Automated Scene Understanding, Principal Investigator: Won the funding for and created a system for converting aerial images to text. Objects are detected independently and their relationships modeled via statistical constraints. The resulting system allows the user to search images using English (C++).
• An Incremental Knowledge Assimilation System, Principal Investigator: Researched and created adaptive statistical learning methods for identifying underwater mines in cluttered environments. Created a learning module that uses ensemble methods to decrease classification error with a minimum of input from the user. Lead the project to a second phase of two years worth of funding (Matlab/C++).
• Due Regard and Intruder Detection for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, R&D Scientist: Created algorithms to identify pixel-size objects in 2K x 1K images using methods for statistical anomaly modeling. The algorithm is unsupervised and can thus adapt to unseen scenarios without retraining (C++). See less |
