Graphics & Visualization

3D Optical Reconstruction of Cell Shape - Reconstruction of 3D cell shapes using optical microscope	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.
3D Vision for Autonomous Navigation - We are developing object representations built from range images that can be used in landmark recognition and object matching	A Spherical Representation for Recognition of 3-D Curved Objects - We are investigating a new approach for representing 3-D curved objects for recognition and modeling
Articulated Motion Tracking - tracks humans in video.	AutoBrief - Generation of coordinated multimedia (natural language and information graphics) explanations from large and complex data sets.
Automatic 3D Modeling from Range Images - A system for generating 3D models of real-world objects without manual or mechanical aids.	AUtomotive Run-Off-Road Avoidance system - To help avoid highway accidents, we have developed a vision-based lateral position estimation system called AURORA.
Barrier-Based Stereoscopic Image Display System - variations on time-multiplexed parallax panoramagrams	Biotracking - We are developing algorithms for automatically tracking and modeling the behavior of multiagent systems.
Fractal Terrain Modeling - he goal of our research in fractal terrain modeling is to build dense terrain maps that accurately represent natural surfaces	Gesture - Speech Integration
Highly Mobile Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle - Autonomous cross-country navigation	Mercator - Cooperative Multi-Robot Mapping and Planning
Modeling from Reality - Techniques for constructing solid models from observations of real objects	Multiresolution Modeling and Rendering - We are developing methods to represent three-dimensional geometric models at multiple levels of detail to facilitate storage, transmission, display, and simulation.
Neural Network-Based Face Detection - A neural network-based face detection system	Nlips
Operator Interface for Robotic Applications - an operator control station and interface which maximizes operator comfort and productivity	Physics-Based Simulation and Graphics
Reflectance Analysis for Computer Graphics Model Generation - New approach to obtain photometric information as well as geometric information of an object model automatically by observing a real object	Selective Dynamic Manipulation - A paradigm for interacting with visualizations that is based on the notion of physicalization, which uses the metaphor of creating ""physical"" objects to represent abstract data objects
Sonar Mapping for Underwater Vehicles - Elevation map refinement from bathymetric side-scan sonar images	Spatial Frequency - Our space / frequency representation has proven useful for solving the combined problem of segmentation and shape from texture.
Super-Resolved Texture Tracking - Video-stream object motion estimation and tracking.	System for Automated Graphics and Explanation - Mixed-initiative presentation system that supports visualization creation
The Knowledge Conservancy - The Knowledge Conservancy is a non-profit organization established to communicate and carry out the vision of the universal library.	The Lifelong Learning Project
The Universal Library - Our vision: access, query, and print any book, magazine, newspaper, video, data item, or reference document anytime, anywhere.	Visage - Prototype software environment for exploring and visualizing large amounts of diverse information
Visual Position Estimator - The VIPER project aims at building a teleoperation interface which can analyze images sent by a mobile robot in space missions and estimate the position of the robot.	Visual Query Environment - VQE provides direct-manipulation database queries for operating on many objects at once.
Z-Keying - A new image keying method which merges synthetic and real image in real time.
