Progress in computer vision at the University of Massachusetts

This report summarizes progress in image understanding research at the University of Massachsuetts over the past year. Many of the individual efforts discussed in this paper are further developed in other papers in this proceedings. The summary is organized into several areas: l. Image Exploitation under RADIUS 2. Learning in Vision 3. Mobile Vehicle Navigation 4. Recovering 3D Structure 5. The Image Understanding Architecture The Research program in computer vision at UMass has as one of its goals the integration of a diverse set of research efforts into a system that is ultimately intended to achieve real-time image interpretation in a variety of vision applications.
