  • Object Tracking, Geopositioning and Navigation

    Object tracking is a typical computer vision problem defined in image space. Extending it to 3D can be achieved by 3D sensing of the environment. Our focus in PCVLab includes and goes beyond typical object tracking to geopositioning objects in an absolute coordinate system. | LEARN MORE

  • Visual Contour Tracking

    High level vision tasks, such as recognition, understanding, etc., require tracking of the enclosing contour of objects. In general, objects undergo non-rigid deformations, which limit the applicability of using motion models that impose rigidity constraints on the objects. | LEARN MORE

  • Astronaut Navigation

    As experienced by Apollo lunar astronauts, spatial orientation can be affected significantly by lunar environmental conditions such as the moon's altered gravity, lack of an atmosphere, limited spatial references, and different level of reflectivity. | LEARN MORE
