Research Interests:

Avionics design/development, system identification, control of micro air vehicles, and optic flow-based visual navigation

Dissertation Title:

Small Obstacle and Target Detection from Optic Flow Fields

Abstract:

Insects are able to identify and track mates and prey in a wide range of conditions, i ncluding large background motions from the natural environments and against clear skies. This research seeks to understand and model this ability and apply the same capability for small object detection on robotic vehicles.
