Dr. Marius Leordeanu
Joyce Kim worked in our lab
when she was an undergraduate student. Her concentration was
range-to-range registration. She now pursues Ph.D.-level studies at
Columbia University.
Jeff Epstein worked in our lab when he was an undergraduate
student.
Yevgeniy Pavlov worked in our lab when he was an
undergraduate student. His concentration was shape similarity.

Equipment
Our laboratory is equipped with the latest
generation in range sensing technology (Leica 3D laser scanning system) . The necessary funding was provided by the National
Science Foundation under Grants 0821383 and 0215962. Our scanners
can provide dense spherical 3D range scans of outdoor and indoor
environments. High end digital color cameras are used for the
acquisition of color photographs. Linux- and
Windows-based workstations are used for processing and visualization.
