CISE Research Resources: Instrumentation for Multidimensional Imaging and Applications

该合同将用于购买(a)专用传感器和执行器（范围扫描仪、数字视频设备、3D制造设备），(b)高性能计算设备（Beowulf集群和高性能工作站），以及(c)基础设施（包括连接网络的磁盘阵列和网络硬件）。提议的设备将支持当前和计划中的图像处理和理解研究。计划和目前正在进行的研究将使用该设施，包括图像和视频处理（范围图像压缩技术、图像压缩伪影缓解和来自传感器融合的高分辨率视频）、图像分析和实体建模（图像分割、骨架化、对象表示以及在骨科和步态分析中的应用）。以及图像理解算法的经验评估（低级和高级图像理解任务的性能以及3D建模技术）。计划中的设施将促进圣母大学新生的图像处理和理解研究小组的持续发展，并对所支持的研究课题进行了仔细审查，以验证其利用拟议设备收购的能力。

The proposed equipment will support current and planned research in image processing and understanding. Research in planning and currently underway that will employ the facility includes image and video processing (range image compression techniques, image compression artifact mitigation, and high-resolution video from sensor fusion), image analysis and solid modeling (image segmentation, skeletonization, object representation, and applications in orthopedics and gait analysis), and empirical evaluation of image understanding algorithms (performance of low-level and high-level image understanding tasks as well as 3D modeling techniques). The planned facility will foster the continued development of a nascent image processing and understanding research group at the University of Notre Dame, and the research topics to be supported were carefully examined to validate their ability to take advantage of the proposed equipment acquisition.
