• Researched techniques for constructing 3D object models using aerial images taken from a single site. Studied and implemented methods for registering images to the constructed site model, and registering images to images.
• Researched approaches for automatic target recognition, monitoring and change detection, using constructed site models; studied techniques for image segmentation, feature extraction/grouping and pattern recognition.
• Implemented DCT based JPEG compression algorithms. Have a good understanding of MPEG.
• Developed systems in C and X-windows for :
  1. detecting and reconstructing 3D cylindrical objects.
     
     Cylinder Detector
  2. the computer graphics applications for image rendering, rubber-banding graph drawing tool and real-time flight simulation.
     
     Balloon
     Jumping balls
     Flight Simulation
     Fly through a site built from images
     Rubber-band drawing tool.
  3. extracting edges, lines, corners, circles, ellipses and rectangles.
  4. semi-automatic image analysis, which lets users register images to site models, extract/select/edit features and display/analyze images and results interactively.
     System usage demo.
• Designed and implemented programs in C++ for :
  1. the recognition of 1D and 2D regular object configurations.
     
     Global activities Monitor
     From Global to Local
  2. registering images to a site model, and monitoring changes using statistical approaches.
  3. detecting vehicles in aerial images. This package has been delivered by General Electric to National Exploitation Laboratory and other government agencies.
