Honda Visiting Scientist Morimichi Nishigaki gives final presentation

Mr. Morimichi Nishigaki, ISR's current visiting scientist from Honda R&D, Japan, gave his final presentation on July 22. His topic was "Ego-Motion Estimation Using Fewer Image Feature Points," based on his research with Professor Yiannis Aloimonos (CS) on 3-D image reconstruction for video images. Mr. Nishigaki is an engineer interested in researching obstacle recognition using stereo images, a technology that could improve drive support and collision prevention systems for vehicles. He will be returning to Japan in the next few weeks. More information about ISR’s Visiting Scientists Program
