Image and Spatial Data Analysis Division
The Image and Spatial Data Analysis Division conducts research and development into Cyberinfrastructure involving image, video, and spatial data. Sifting through the state of the art in Computer Vision the ISDA group applies research to real world problems while striving to build robust multipurpose software to serve a variety of community needs. Our group has and is currently working on providing a framework for searchable access to large collections of handwritten forms, creating suites of semantic keyword extractors from image content, developing tools to aid in the study of group interactions in collections of videos, developing tools to aid in the identification of authorship in old manuscripts, and stitching together large macro images from collections of overlapping photographs. With the prevalence of low cost ubiquitous digital cameras and a push for the digitization of information stored on paper, efforts to unlock large collections of image data and gain information from their contents are becoming a necessity while at the same time being very much a computational intensive supercomputing problem.
