Method of Image Fusion and Enhancement Using Mask Pyramid
We proposed an algorithmic approach using a mask pyramid to better localize the selection process. A new embedded system architecture that builds upon the Acadia ® II Vision Processor is…
-
Mask Pyramid Methodology for Enhanced Localization in Image Fusion and Enhancement
The proposed approach offers a generic methodology for applications in image enhancement, high dynamic range compression, depth of field extension, and image blending.

Vehicle Tracking Across Nonoverlapping Cameras Using Joint Kinematic and Appearance Features
We describe a vehicle tracking algorithm using input from a network of nonoverlapping cameras.

High-Precision Localization Using Visual Landmarks Fused with Ranged Data
In this paper, we demonstrated that with the use of precise 3D Li-dar range data, we are able to build a global consistent database of high precision 3D visual landmarks,…

Automatic identification of speaker role and agreement/disagreement in broadcast conversation
We present supervised approaches for detecting speaker roles and agreement/disagreement between speakers in broadcast conversation shows in three languages: English, Arabic, and Mandarin.
-
A LIDAR Streaming Architecture for Mobile Robotics with Application to 3D Structure Characterization
We present a novel LIDAR streaming architecture for real-time, on-board processing using unmanned robots.
-
Stable Vision-Aided Navigation for Large-Area Augmented Reality
In this paper, we present a unified approach for a drift-free and jitter-reduced vision-aided navigation system.

Seamless Indoor/Outdoor 6 DOF Tracking of Trainees and Weapons
In this paper we present a system for tracking the trainee’s location, head orientation, and weapon orientation that provides high precision and does not require an instrumented site.
-
Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Ubiquitous Infrastructure-Free Localization in Vision-Impaired Environments
In this paper, we present a unified approach for a camera tracking system based on an error-state Kalman filter algorithm.

Policy-Based Data Downgrading: Toward a Semantic Framework and Automated Tools to Balance Need-To-Protect and Need-To-Share Policies
We describe a new paradigm for articulating need-to-protect and need-to-share policies that shows promise for enabling automated derivation of the downgrading rulesets needed to comply with these policies in systems…
