Liu granted first award

Dongfang Liu, assistant professor of computer engineering, has been granted his first award since joining RIT in 2021 from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering Research Initiation Initiative (CRII). Liu's project is “CRII: RI: Vision-Anchored Automation of Bird-Sized UAVs in Unknown Cluttered Indoor Environments.” This project introduces a concept of multi-task fusion for video perception, which aims at simultaneous detection, segmentation, tracking, distance measurement, and self-localization in the video domain.
