Summary of Selected Projects IR / MMW DATA FUSION (AFOSR): Improved identification of military vehicles from aerial scenes using neural networks applied to co-boresighted IR and MMW radar sensors. Chemical Sensor Arrays (DARPA): Improved identification and detection of chemical plumes in non-laboratory conditions. Biomimetics: Learn sensor fusion from animals. Apply this to flying a drone to target using onboard video Robotic Networks: Build cooperative human / robotic networks with distributed, redundant C 3 I capability. Use optic flow to replace GPS for navigation.
