Acquisition of Equipment for Integrated Sensing Towards Real-Time Vision, Cognition & 3-D Modeling

该方案需要一个共聚焦显微镜、一个高速视频运动分析仪和两个专用处理器，以补充现有的带有四个R8000 RISC处理器的Onyx多处理超级计算机。集成设备将为实时视觉、认知和三维建模带来新的研究维度。与库尔特公司在血细胞分析和分类方面建立了研究合作，与迈阿密浸信会医院在手术计划和核医学方面建立了合作，与佛罗里达大学智能机器中心在机器人视觉、运动分析和远程机器人方面建立了合作。这些项目将开发和使用新的视觉/传感技术，以实现高灵敏度和高分辨率、实时运动分析、实时三维渲染和可视化，以及片上三维表面重建和深度提取。＊＊＊

9512454 Adjouadi This proposal requests a confocal microscope, a high-speed video motion analyzer, and two dedicated processors which will complement the existing Onyx multiprocessing supercomputer with four R8000 RISC processors. The integrated equipment will bring new research dimension in real-time vision, cognition, and 3-D modeling with real-world applications. Research collaboration has been established with Coulter Corporation in analysis and classification of blood cells, with Baptist Hospital of Miami in surgical planning and nuclear medicine, and with the University of Florida's Center for Intelligent Machines in robot vision, motion analysis, and telerobotics. New visual/sensing techniques will be developed and used in these projects for high sensitivity and resolution, real-time motion analysis, real-time 3-D rendering and visualization, and on-chip 3-D surface reconstruction and depth extraction. ***
