We examine the problem of visual scene understanding and abstraction from first person video. This is an important problem and successful approaches would enable complex scene characterization tasks that go beyond ...

This paper explains the research and development of a mobile application that helps parents to stimulate their infants and measure the response of such stimulation. The tool considers 4 different sensorimotor substages, ...

Currently, researchers attempt to better understand motor control by using stereotyped tasks in rodents. Using this method, researchers can correlate rat movements with activity occurring in the motor cortex. Our lab, ...

Identifying early signs of autism has been a challenging problem in the medical field. Many research studies aim to detect behavioral patterns of children with autism in the first three years of life. Early detection of ...

Mosquitoes are directly responsible for the death of more than a million people each year. Yet the ability to mitigate their deadly impact or even monitor them in the wild to better understand their behavior remains ...

Confusion is an important part of the learning process, but prolonged periods of confusion can have a detrimental effect. Online education environments lack the benefit of face-to-face interaction and instantaneous detection ...

In this thesis, we address a variety of challenges for analysis and enhancement of Computational Video. We present novel post-processing methods to bridge the difference between professional and casually shot videos mostly ...

In this dissertation, I focus on an important, generalizable and freely available sub-category of semantic information in addressing modern reconstruction challenges: the notion of symmetry. The emphasis in the 3D modeling ...

Surveillance systems are some of the most computationally intensive applications. Despite technological advances, lowcost of sensors, and continuous improvement of computer vision algorithms for analyzing video data, ...

Recent advances in camera technology have made it possible to build a comfortable, wearable system which can capture the scene in front of the user throughout the day. Products based on this technology, such as GoPro and ...
