REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Computer Vision

职务名称：REU研究中心：计算机视觉本科生的研究经验这个项目代表了计算机视觉本科生研究经验的延续，该研究经验在中央佛罗里达大学成功运作了18年。 多年来，来自佛罗里达和佛罗里达以外几个机构的大约180名本科生参加了这个项目。 研究重点是计算机视觉。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项目的关键独特元素是（1）为参与者计划了一个完整的夏季体验，这样他们就有时间完成一个实质性的项目，（2）向每个参与者展示几个可能的项目主题，这样他们就可以觉得他们选择了一个对他们来说最有趣的项目，（3）让参与者沉浸在一般的研究环境中，就像他们是研究生一样，让他们每周与他们的导师会面一次，讨论他们的项目，参加每周的研究小组会议，参加研究报告，并会见访问研究人员，（4）允许单独资助的可选后续通过与学生合作，写一份关于他们的项目的技术报告，为GRE做准备，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论文提交给一个被评审的会议，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，也导致了期刊出版物的参考。许多过去的参与者现在正在各个机构攻读研究生课程，有些人现在正在担任教师职位。REU参与者将接受培训，并接触自动视频理解中的关键问题，包括对象检测，跟踪，活动和事件识别。 理论和实践都将被考虑，即数学建模和困难的视觉问题的分析和开发算法，并建立真实的系统，以证明这些解决方案在真实的生活情况。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地位。 参加者将学习视觉监控和监视的基础知识。 通过这个项目，本科院校的本科生将有机会与一个非常成功的研究小组一起度过一个夏天。REU的模式将在其他学校中传播。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
