Image Understanding Research at the University of Utah

Current work on image understanding at the University of Utah is focused principally on using computer vision and related sensing techniques to aid in problems associated with manufacturing. Three projects are now underway: feature-based reverse engineering, benchmarking of IU for man-made objects, and improved integration of inspection with design and manufacturing. In all three projects, the emphasis is on using information about “realworld” manufacturing equipment and operations, rather than general-purpose methods intended for more generic tasks. In addition, we are completing work on landmark-based navigation for mobile robots.
