REU Sites:Montclair REU Site in Imaging and Computer Vision (iMagine)

在过去的几十年里，仪器和传感器技术、微芯片和高密度存储设计、高速网络和高性能计算的进步导致了数字图像数据获取、处理、存储和分发方式的巨大进步。因此，数字图像的使用也扩大了。在这种情况下，培养能够进一步推进和支持成像应用的未来科学家对于任何一个以保持技术发展前沿为目标的国家来说都是至关重要的。蒙特克莱尔REU网站（iMagine）每年将有八名本科生（三年）参加为期八周的密集暑期课程，研究和开发成像和计算机视觉的新计算机应用程序。学生们将沉浸在一个活跃的环境中，包括研究和教育互动以及社会活动。该基地具有鲜明的特点，位于美国最大的大都市之一的大纽约市地区。该项目将在蒙特克莱尔的各个单位、著名的成像公司和世界一流的博物馆组织活动。该网站的目标包括鼓励和激励计算机专业的本科生从事研究，并通过以研究为导向的职业和研究生学习，通过让学生接触非课堂师生互动、学术-工业和多学科研究互动，提供丰富的教育体验，增加女性、少数民族和来自研究基础设施有限的机构的学生的数量。提高口头和书面沟通和知识传播能力。该REU站点由国防部与NSF REU项目合作支持。

Title: REU Sites: Montclair REU Site in Imaging and Computer Vision(iMagine)PI: Stefan RobilaInstitution: Montclair State UniversityOver the last decades, advances in instrument and sensor technology, microchip and high density storage design, high speed networks and high performance computing resulted in a tremendous progress in the way digital image data are acquired, processed, stored and distributed. As consequence, the usage of digital imagery has also expanded. In this context, preparing tomorrow's scientists who would further advance and support imaging applications is essential for any country whose goal is to stay at the forefront of the technological developments.The Montclair REU site (iMagine) will involve eight undergraduate students each year (for three years) in an eight-week intensive summer program to perform research and develop new computer applications for imaging and computer vision. The students will be immersed in an active environment that involves research and educational interactions as well as social activities. The site has the distinct characteristic of being located within the greater New York City area, one of the largest metropolitan concentrations in the US. The project will organize activities taking place at various Montclair units as well as renowned imaging companies and world class museums. The site's objectives include encouraging and motivating undergraduate computing students to engage in research and follow through with research oriented careers and graduate studies, providing an enriching educational experience by exposing the students to non-classroom faculty-student interactions, academic- industry and multidisciplinary research interaction, increasing the number of women, minorities and students from institutions with limited research infrastructure, improving oral and written communication and knowledge dissemination skills.This REU Site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
