UCF faculty are collaborating as part of a new five-year U.S. National Science Foundation grant led by UCF’s Center for Research in Computer Vision to guide and support promising low-income students in the multidisciplinary field of artificial intelligence.

The project is funded through the National Science Foundation’s Accelerating Research Translation (NSF ART) program.

The study will examine technologies to improve the industry’s field operations, allowing for more accurate and informed agricultural decisions.

The researchers behind UCF-101, a challenging action recognition dataset, are being awarded for their impressive collection of 13,320 clips across 101 action categories. The dataset has been cited over 4,000 times since its creation.

Four UCF faculty and 32 doctoral students attended the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference in New Orleans this summer.

The Army Research Lab-funded project will help ground vehicles navigate complex terrain when GPS is not available by using computer vision and artificial intelligence.

The university joins Carnegie Mellon University as the only institutions in the nation to offer the specialized computer science discipline.

The new UCF co-developed algorithm can accurately identify COVID-19 cases, as well as distinguish them from influenza.
