Computer Vision at the University of Maryland has a history of more than 40 years. The Computer Vision Laboratory was established by Prof. Azriel Rosenfeld in the 1960's. He is widely regarded as the father of the field, having written the first textbook on the subject, established the first scientific journal (Computer Graphics and Image Processing), and founded the first international conference (International Conference on Computer Vision). He published over 500 journal and conference papers on almost all aspects of computer vision and image processing.
Over 100 computer science students have received their Ph.D.'s in computer vision since the Laboratory was established, while a number of alumni have gone on to great success around the world.
Oracle Health Sciences Institute, in Partnership with Oracle Labs, Announces First Round of Research Projects
Oracle Health Sciences Institute, in partnership with Oracle Labs, focuses on supporting research that accelerates IT innovation to advance personalized medicine and the delivery of safe and effective treatments and healthcare services to patients around the globe. The Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland will expand development of a tool to facilitate the visualization of patient clinical data patterns over time, as they apply to drug safety signals in large repositories of longitudinal healthcare and claims data. Visual data has been proven to significantly improve the thought processes of researchers. As such, the newly-designed tool is expected to help accelerate and broaden adverse events analysis, leading to new insights, as well as expanded research opportunities.UMD M-Urgency App Becomes Publicly Available
On Wednesday the University of Maryland’s emergency smartphone application, M-Urgency, gets its long-awaited public launch, when the app becomes available for free download to the university community. The app -- currently available only for android phones -- allows students, faculty and staff to instantly share video, audio and location information about their emergency with university police dispatchers. The M-Urgency app was developed by UMD Computer Science Professor Ashok Agrawala and his team in collaboration with the university's Department of Public Safety. Together they have been conducting a test deployment for some time and are now ready to share the application university-wide. Though the app is currently only for android phones and the UMD community, the technology could be applied to any phone and any community across the nation, according to its developers. Apps for other phones are planned. The M-Urgency technology is based on Adobe software infrastructure, and the commercial applications are being developed by AlphaTrek, a Maryland company started by Agrawala.Professor Khuller's Student Named Intel Finalist
Frederic Koehler, of Montgomery Blair High School and a student of Professor Samir Khuller, has been named a finalist in the 2012 Intel Science Talent Search, a national pre-college competition. Recognized for his work Quick and Efficient: Fast Algorithms for Completion Time and Batch Minimization on Multiple Machines, Koehler is the only finalist representing the State of Maryland.
