Advances in Imaging Technologies and Data Fusion
New technology has become available that uses lasers to rapidly and robustly capture range information and use it to create accurate 3D models that can be rapidly updated in real time. These highly dynamic 3D point cloud models have great potential for applications such as perimeter surveillance and site security, but realizing the true potential of this new technology requires that existing 2D computer vision methods are adapted to work in a 3D context.
This presentation will outline recent advances in 2D and 3D imaging techniques and discuss the techniques and benefits for fusing multiple sensor modalities.
About Dr. Richard Tutwiler, Deputy-Director, Center for Network-Centric Cognition and Information Fusion (NC2IF) and Senior Research Associate, Penn State Applied Research Laboratory (ARL)
Dr. Tutwiler is the principal investigator involved in machine vision research at ARL. This research involves the application of differential geometry theory to develop invariant feature sets for image analysis and classifications of underwater and hyperspectral remote sensed images. His research interests in ultrasound consist of high-frequency analog and digital design, ultrasonic beamforming architectures, 3-D image reconstruction, parallel processing, image processing/analysis, and pattern recognition.
