Homework:

Homework will be issued approximately once every one or two weeks. They will either consist of written assignments, Matlab assignments or C programming assignments. Homework will be graded, and will contribute 50% to the final grade. Homework handed in late will not be accepted unless consent is obtained from the teaching staff prior to the due date. There will be a project that will constitute 50% of your grade. The project can be individual or in a group. You are to submit a proposal to the instructor by the end of February. More details on the project will be provided later, and a list of suggested topics will be provided.

    SUMMER 2010 UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIP (NEW!)
    NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group

  • Friday, April 9, 2010
    The Class presentation has moved from May 6th to April 29th, the last lecture of the semester.

  • Monday, Mar. 8, 2010
    The Communications and Collaborations Systems group at Microsoft Research Redmond has a couple of internship positions available. The general area for the project will be improving quality of experience for real-time applications such as video conferencing / VoIP / interactive software applications. The current ideas are:

    1. to improve rate control algorithms used by video encoders in a distributed environment, where multiple video conferencing sessions are competing for bandwidth over a congested link and at the same time competing with other non real-time traffic such as TCP

    2. to provide some framework for traffic prioritization building on ideas similar to diffserv.

    If interested, please contact Sanjeev Mehrotra at sanjeevm@microsoft.com

    The Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames Research Center located in Moffett Field, CA has several intern openings in 3D planetary surface reconstruction and characterization. Topics of interest include stereo image reconstruction and error assessment, image segmentation from texture and 3D data, shape from shading from multiple images and image and digital elevation model (DEM) matching. The selected students will work with historical Lunar data captured by the Apollo missions as well as recently released data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. Ideal candidates are MSc or PhD students in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mathematics with a strong background in statistics, Bayesian modeling, robust functions and 3D reconstruction. Good software engineering skills in C/C++ programming are a plus. The internship is for three months during the Summer of 2010 and can be extended for a duration of six months. If interested, please contact Ara Nefian, PhD, Senior Scientist, NASA Ames Research Center, Carnegie Mellon University-Silicon Valley at ara.nefian@nasa.gov or (650) 604-0845.
