Computer Vision Research Lab (CVRL)
At Notre Dame, the Computer Vision Research Lab is engaged in computer vision research, with partners at the Univ. of South Florida and NIST. Ongoing projects include face recognition using biometrics based on ear and face appearance, development of bagging to form committee of classifiers by bootstrap aggregation of training sets from a pool of training data, and recognition of people through gait analysis. As a result of this effort, we are assembling a multi-gigabyte database of digital still images of approximately 200 subjects. Image modalities include 2200x1700 digital color stills, long-wave infrared face images, and 3D images captured with a scanning laser range finder as well as images from stereo rigs.
Data collected in this study are enrolled in HBASE, a large distributed database operated by NIST and SAIC and containing still and video imagery from approximately one dozen groups.
Materials to be available include posters (both real and virtual) summarizing these techniques, along with samples from the database.
