Reactive Closed-Loop Computer Vision

The goal of this cluster is to develop machine vision algorithms that can be used in closed-loop and interactive applications extending the capabilities of modern vision systems, which have been transformational for static tasks.

Our group combines the expertise of multiple research labs at Rice University through the Ken Kennedy Institute to advance computer vision. We are especially interested in developing computer vision systems for dynamic and interactive settings where continuous interplay with the environment and adaptation to real-time changes are required. We envision reactive and adaptive computer vision systems, specifically through the implementation of closed-loop systems that can take advantage of continuous feedback from complementary modalities such as sound, speech, temperature, and other environment variables. We envision models that can work in a diverse array of image domains and dynamically adapt to environmental conditions on-the-fly without human intervention in response to both sensor data and detected environment variable changes.
