REU Site: REU-University of New Orleans Site, TRACK: Training and Research in Computing Knowledge

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助的。位于新奥尔良大学(UNO)的REU网站为本科生提供监控任务和自动化场景理解的综合传感和数据处理领域的研究经验。该项目从全国各地招募了一批不同的、有才华的本科生，以积极参与这一尖端的集成传感和自动化场景理解(ISASU)研究，并加强联合国大学的电气工程项目。智力价值参与者正在进行的研究预计将影响ISASU领域以及其他相关科学学科，如图像处理、人工智能、模式识别、计算机视觉、生物信息学、数据挖掘、知识发现、自动化决策和规划以及信息融合等。从他们的出版物和目前得到的资助可以证明，区域联盟的私人投资机构在国际安全和安全理事会方面拥有广泛的专业知识。学生的项目解决了尖端的研究主题，直接源于PI？目前的研究表明，PI在学生咨询方面拥有丰富的经验，大量的研究生和本科生顾问证明了这一点。预计拟议的REU经验将成功地培训ISASU的本科生；目标是使这项工作在这一领域取得显著成果。广泛的影响招聘计划，加上附属机构教员的坚定承诺，吸引了本科生，包括女性和代表性不足的群体，到REU UNO网站。该项目总共涉及30名学生和两名研究生，他们将参与本科教学、研究和指导活动。REU的研究成果将发表在同行评议的会议上，可能还会发表在技术期刊上。这些REU研究进展被反馈，并纳入联合国组织和/或附属机构的相关课程教学。最后，该项目通过信息和系统技术研究中心(IST-RC)和联合国大学S研究和科技园利用业界联系。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This REU site at the University of New Orleans (UNO) provides research experience for undergraduates in the area of integrated sensing and data processing for surveillance missions and automated scene understanding. The project recruits groups of diverse and talented undergraduate students from around the nation to actively engage in this cutting-edge Integrated Sensing and Automated Scene Understanding (ISASU) research, and to enhance the Electrical Engineering program at UNO.Intellectual MeritThe participants are performing research that is expected to impact the field of ISASU, as well as other associated scientific disciplines such as Image Processing,Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision, Bioinformatics, Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Automated Decision Making & Planning, and Information Fusion, among others. The REU PIs have extensive expertise in ISASU, as evidenced by their publications and current funded support. The student projects address cutting-edge research themes, directly stemming from the PIs? current research, and the PI has significant experience in student advising, as evidenced by the large number of graduate and undergraduate advisees. The proposed REU experience is expected to be successful in training undergraduates in ISASU; the goal is for this work to lead to significant results in the field.Broader ImpactsThe recruitment plan, in conjunction with strong commitment from faculties at affiliated institutions attracts undergraduate students, including females and under-represented groups, to the REU UNO site. The project engages in total a diverse group of 30 students, and two graduate students who will be involved in undergraduate teaching, research and mentoring activities. The REU research results will be published in peer reviewed conferences, and potentially, technical journals. These REU research advances are fed back and integrated into the teaching of related courses at UNO, and/or affiliated institutions. Finally, the project leverages industrial contacts through the Information and Systems Technology Research Center (IST-RC) and UNO?s Research and Technology Park.
