Research Activities

Through this program, the students will gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools and models. For example, the students will collect video frames and annotate each frame with a certain class label. They will then use the collected and annotated data to train AI models such as YOLOv5, Faster RCNN and DeepSORT. Regarding the object modeling, the students will use Blender and Maya for 3D modeling, rigging, and animation. For the simulator development, the students will learn how to embed the designed 3D models into a simulator within Unity 3D game engine. In addition to the hands-on experience, participating in this REU program is a great confidence builder for the students and helps them gain new insight into the research field.
