Projects
-
Modeling Alternaria.
To correctly identify unknown samples of fungi, scientists need to spend
hours looking through the microscope, estimating parameters by eye. This is
very time-consuming and prone to mistakes. To make this process automatic
using smart computer software, we need good models for the various species of
fungi. The students
collected microscopic data
and used a
web tool
developed in the
Computer Vision Group to create
realistic 3D models.
In collaboration with
Dr. Barry Pryor's group
.
-
Modeling Rice.
Scientists would like to link the morphology (structure) of rice to its
properties to develop more resistant species of rice. To accomplish this,
scientists need to examine many different species and determine by eye what
structural characteristics might be related to the rice genome. To help make
this process automatic, we need computer models for various rice species. The
students took photos of several rice
species from the University of Arizona green houses and then used a
web tool
developed in the
Computer Vision Group to create
realistic 3D models.
In collaboration with Dr. Rod Wing's group.
-
Modeling Saguaros.
Saguaros play a very important role in the ecosystem. Scientists would like
to understand how the morphology of saguaros is affected by environmental
factors. To accomplish this using computers, we need accurate models for
saguaros. The students took photos of
saguaros located on the University of Arizona campus, and then used a
web tool
developed in the
Computer Vision Group
to create
realistic 3D models. In collaboration with
Dr. David Hearn from
Dr. Mike Sanderson's Lab.
