Cellular Event Detection in Time-lapse Live Cell Microscopy Images

Event Location: NSH 3002Abstract: Computer vision analysis of live cells in time-lapse microscopy images enables long-term continuous monitoring of a large number of intact cells with minimal human intervention, which has not been feasible by existing image processing methods with cellular staining images. Of critical importance in time-lapse microscopy image analysis is to understand the [...]

Differentially Constrained Motion Planning with State Lattice Motion Primitives

Event Location: GHC 4405Abstract: Robot motion planning with differential constraints has received a great deal of attention in the last few decades, yet it still remains a challenging problem. Among a number of reasons, three stand out. First, the differential constraints that most physical robots exhibit render the coupling between the control and state spaces [...]
