Week 8 Presentation
This progress report, pre-pre-proposal2.pdf, describes the subject area of my M.S. thesis in more detail and outlines (very broadly) my goals for the thesis work. The next steps are to complete a pre-proposal and have an official proposal approved.
For a quick summary: I will investigate the Pictorial Structures method for recognizing classes of deformable objects (such as humans and animal types) in images and video. I hope to extend the current state of the art of pictorial structures, within the context of some specific research programs at RIT involving recognition of animals. For more information on pictorial structures, visit my thesis home page.
More details will follow over the next month or so as I continue the proposal process. Work on the thesis should begin in June.
