REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Computer Vision

标题：REU网站：计算机视觉本科生的研究体验这个项目是计算机视觉本科生研究体验网站的延续，该网站在过去的18年里一直在中佛罗里达大学成功运营。多年来，来自佛罗里达州和佛罗里达州以外的几个机构的大约180名本科生参加了这个项目。研究的重点领域是计算机视觉。该网站每年将接待10名参与者。每年，学生将参加为期11周的全日制暑期课程。这个REU项目的主要特点是(1)为参与者计划一个完整的暑期体验，以便他们有时间跟踪一个实质性的项目直到完成，(2)向每个参与者呈现几个可能的项目主题，以便他们可以感觉到他们选择了一个他们最感兴趣的项目，(3)让参与者基本上像他们是研究生一样沉浸在一般的研究环境中，让他们每周与他们的教师导师会面一次，讨论他们的项目，参加每周的研究小组会议，参加研究报告，并会见来访的研究人员，以及(4)允许单独资助的可选后续项目在一年内与学生一起就他们的项目撰写一份技术报告，准备GRE并申请研究生课程。在过去的几年里，很大一部分REU参与者能够准备一篇提交给裁判会议的论文，该论文被接受，然后参加会议提交论文。过去的几位参与者甚至完成了足够多的研究，也导致了被引用的期刊出版物。许多过去的参与者现在在不同的机构攻读研究生课程，一些人现在担任教职。REU参与者将接受培训，并接触到自动视频理解的关键问题，其中涉及目标检测、跟踪、活动和事件识别。这个项目将从理论和实践两个方面进行考虑，即对困难的视觉问题进行数学建模和分析，开发算法，并建立真实的系统，在现实生活中展示这些解决方案。该项目将有助于培养一支年轻科学家的工作队伍，以保持美国在科学和工程领域的战略指挥地位。学员将学习视觉监控和监控的基础知识。通过这个项目，来自以本科生为主的机构的本科生将有机会与一个非常成功的研究小组度过一个暑假。REU的模式将在其他学校中传播。网址：http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~vision/reu-web/REU.html

Title: REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Computer Vision This project represents a continuation of a Research Experience for Undergraduates site in Computer Vision which has operated successfully at the University of Central Florida for the past eighteen years. Approximately one hundred and eighty undergraduate students from several institutions in Florida and outside Florida have participated in this program over the years. The research focus area is Computer Vision.The site will host 10 participants per year. Each year, students will participate in an 11-week duration full-time Summer program. The key distinctive elements of this REU project are (1) to have a full summer experience planned for the participants, so that they have time to follow a substantial project through to completion, (2) to present each participant with several possible project topics, so that they can feel they have chosen a project which is most interesting to them, (3) to immerse the participants in the general research environment essentially as if they were graduate students, by having them meet with their faculty advisor once each week to discuss their project, participate in the weekly research group meetings, attend research presentations and meet with visiting researchers, and (4) to allow the separately-funded optional follow-through over the year by working with the students to write a technical report on their project, to prepare for the GREs and to apply to graduate programs. In past years, a large fraction of REU participants have been able to prepare a paper for submission to a refereed conference, have the paper accepted and then attend the conference to present the paper. Several past participants have even accomplished substantial enough research to also result in refereed journal publications. Many of past participants are now pursuing graduate studies at various institutions, and some are now occupying faculty positions.REU participants will be trained and exposed to critical issues in automatic video understanding, which involves object detection, tracking, activity and event recognition. Both theory and practice will be considered, i.e. both mathematical modeling and analysis of difficult vision problems and developing algorithms, and building real systems for demonstrating those solutions in real life situations.This project will contribute to preparing a work force of young scientists in order to maintain America's strategic position of command in Science and Engineering. Participants will learn fundamentals of visual monitoring and surveillance. Through this project, undergraduates from predominantly undergraduate institutions will be provided opportunities to spend a summer with a highly successful research group. The model for REU will be disseminated among other schools.URL: http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~vision/reu-web/REU.html
