Department Affiliation:
Department of Electrical, Computer, & Systems Engineering
Education:
Ph.D., Princeton University, Electrical Engineering M.A., Princeton University, Electrical Engineering
M.A., Rice University, Computational and Applied Mathematics
B.A., Rice University, Mathematics, Computational and Applied Mathematics (dual)
Research Areas:
- Distributed, active processing on hundred-camera networks
- 3D Modeling and tracking from distributed mobile sensors
- Computer vision, machine learning, and optimization for intensity-modulated radiotherapy
- Change detection and understanding in image and video sequences
- Magnetic field mapping via heavy ion beam spectral imaging
Research Summary:
- I am interested in computer vision problems that occur in networks
of a large number (tens to hundreds) of cameras dispersed
throughout an environment. We have developed distributed solutions
for determining visual overlap and camera calibration in large
dynamic camera networks, which provide the basis for higher-level
vision problems (e.g. change detection, multi-object tracking,
image-based query, or view synthesis).
- I also collaborate on research involving 3D data representation,
registration, and integration of range and visual imagery. I am
particularly interested in change detection in range imagery and
joint fusion of EO/LiDAR data.
- I am also particularly interested in computer vision and machine
learning problems related to intensity modulated radiotherapy
(IMRT), an exciting new technology for cancer treatment. One
project involves developing computer vision algorithms to aid in
the automatic segmentation of organs from 3-D CT scans acquired
immediately prior to radiation treatment. A second project
investigates the relationship between a patient's body/organ
geometry and the multiple radiation beams that are used to treat
their cancer. We have investigated both the breast and prostate.
These projects include collaborations with medical physicists at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Massachusetts General
Hospital.
