This project represents a continuation of a Research Experience for Undergraduates site in Computer Vision which has operated successfully at the University of Central Florida for the past twenty four years. Approximately two hundred and forty undergraduate students from forty-five institutions all over the country have participated in this program over the years. The research focus area is Computer Vision. The current proposal is to have 10 participants per year, for three years. Each year, students will participate in a 12-week duration full-time Summer program. From lessons learned in prior years, the proposed model includes round-the-clock mentoring by a team that includes a professor, and a post-doctoral fellow or a graduate student; a streamlined short course that lets participants start their research projects sooner; daily meetings with mentors to plan activities throughout the day; training in MatLab for quick turnaround of research ideas. Participants take the short course, match themselves to a project topic that they most desire, and spend sufficient time in focused research. They then can opt for follow-through over the year by working with the professors to write a technical report on their project, to prepare for the GREs and to apply to graduate programs. In past years, a substantial fraction of our REU participants have been able to prepare a paper for submission to a refereed conference, have the paper accepted and then attend the conference to present the paper.

该项目代表了计算机视觉中的本科生网站的研究经验的延续，该网站在过去的二十四年中在佛罗里达州中部成功运作。多年来，来自全国四十五个机构的大约40名本科生参加了该计划。研究重点领域是计算机视觉。当前的提议是每年有10名参与者，持续三年。每年，学生将参加一个为期12周的全日制夏季计划。从前几年中学到的经验教训包括包括教授在内的团队以及博士后研究员或研究生的团队的全天候指导；简化的短期课程使参与者可以尽快开始研究项目；与导师的日常会议全天计划活动；在MATLAB中进行培训，以便快速研究研究思想。参与者参加了简短的课程，将自己与他们最想要的项目主题相匹配，并花费足够的时间进行集中研究。然后，他们可以通过与教授一起编写有关其项目的技术报告，为GRES做准备并申请研究生课程，从而选择随后的人。在过去的几年中，我们的REU参与者中有很大一部分能够准备一份论文，以提交裁判会​​议，接受论文，然后参加会议介绍该论文。
