Past Labs & Groups

Computational Sensor Laboratory - We are developing specialty imaging sensors for improving robustness and capabilities of robot vision systems.	Human Identification at a Distance - We are developing and evaluating human identification technologies as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored program in Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID).
Virtualized RealityTM - Construct views of real events from nearly any viewpoint

Past Projects

3D Video Reconstruction of Skeletal Anatomy - This project aims to reconstruct from video sequences the 3D shape of skeleton of mouse fetuses (for pharmaceutical research) stored inside vials with glycerol.	Human Kinematic Modeling and Motion Capture - We are developing a system for building 3D kinematic models of humans and then using the models to track the person in new video sequences.
Human Motion Transfer - We are developing a system for capturing the motion of one person and rendering a different person performing the same motion.	Temporal Shape-From-Silhouette - We are developing algorithms for the computation of 3D shape from multiple silhouette images captured across time.
Virtualized RealityTM - Construct views of real events from nearly any viewpoint
