The COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly and undoubtedly changed the world as we knew at the end of the second decade of the 21st century. Of particular interest to this research program is development of advanced autonomous screening (thermographic and cognitive) systems via integration of signal processing and deep learning models to address the following three […]

In this proposal, we intend to answer how infrastructure sensors can be used for autonomous driving. Using infrastructure sensors make automated driving safer, more simplified, and cost effective especially for multiple autonomous vehicles operating in known environments such as large residential/commercial complexes and resorts. Infrastructure sensors replace the main onboard vehicle perception sensors with infrastructure […]

Imagine some of the difficult driving conditions experienced by vehicle operators. In these conditions, the sun might be blindingly bright, or the snow might obfuscate what is going on around the vehicle. Surprisingly, the sensors used by autonomous vehicles to understand the environment they are in suffer from similar effects. As a field, robotics has […]
