In today's security-conscious world, better access control-whether it's a company restricting entry into its building or a government monitoring entry into a country-has become a priority. Face recognition is an especially appealing technique, because capturing an image of the face is simple and nonintrusive. Speech recognition is a long-promised technology that's finally beginning to deliver. However, facial recognition can also be used to interpret sign language, or even read lips.
Active projects include: 1) single and multi-camera based stochastic methods for tracking humans, human faces, arms and hands and subsequent recognition of action with applications to American Sign Language Recognition, security and surveillance, 2) deformable and stochastic model theory for segmentation and shape estimation, 3) Graphical models for human action recognition and 4) Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics applications.
