Vision & Robotics

Professor Shree Nayar created the course that offers an interdisciplinary approach to computer vision. The specialization is designed for learners to acquire the foundational mathematical and physical underpinnings of computer vision.

Professor Emeritus Peter K. Allen was one of the six esteemed professors who were honored for outstanding contributions and the lasting impact they have made in academia, research, and student mentorship.

Research from the department has been accepted to the 2021 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) Conference. The annual event explores machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision research and its applications.
About
The group studies the computational foundations for visual and robotic intelligence. They investigate machines that are able to perceive their surroundings and interact with them too.
The group of ten faculty often collaborate across the sciences and the arts. They leverage insights from both nature and math to advance the fundamentals of perception and interaction, and they also transfer their research to tackle practical challenges across disciplines. Several of the faculty are cross-listed with the Data Science Institute.
