The integrated equipment will bring new research dimension in real-time vision, cognition, and 3-D modeling with real-world applications. Research collaboration has been established with Coulter Corporation in analysis and classification of blood cells, with Baptist Hospital of Miami in surgical planning and nuclear medicine, and with the University of Florida's Center for Intelligent Machines in robot vision, motion analysis, and telerobotics. New visual/sensing techniques will be developed and used in these projects for high sensitivity and resolution, real-time motion analysis, real-time 3-D rendering and visualization, and on-chip 3-D surface reconstruction and depth extraction. ***
