The Computer Vision Group at Colorado State University focuses on semantic object recognition in
complex domains. The challenge of object recognition has lead us to address computer vision in
the broader context of Artificial Intelligence, and to integrate techniques from empirical
evaluation and machine learning. Our goal is to use these techniques to develop computer vision
systems whose behaviors are both reliable and understood.
We are actively studying human face recognition algorithms and activity recognition in video.
Other areas of expertise and interest include embedded real-time computer vision, 3D model-based
object recognition and adaptive object recognition under the control of Markov processes.
We have now released the Optimized Correlation Output Filters Toolset (OCOFTools) (October 24, 2012)

Current Research
Biomimetic Vision
We are using computer vision techniques to study and model the
human expert object recognition pathway
. Focus of study includes the early vision system, focus of attention, ego-motion, hierarchical
clustering, and appearance based matching.
Face Recognition
We have three active research areas in face recognition:
- Evaluation of Face Recognition Algorithms
- We are collaborating with NIST to perform statistical analysis on the results from FRGC,
FRVT, ICE, and currently MBGC.
- Face Detection Algorithms - We looking for the best features and strategies to use for face
detection.
- Analytic Geometry of Face Data - In conjunction with the CSU Math Department, we are studying
the topology of face data in high dimensional spaces.
