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.

该项目是计算机视觉本科生研究经验网站的延续，该网站在过去二十四年中在中佛罗里达大学成功运营。多年来，来自全国45所院校的约240名本科生参加了该项目。研究重点领域是计算机视觉。目前的提议是每年有 10 名参与者，为期三年。每年，学生将参加为期 12 周的全日制暑期课程。根据前几年的经验教训，拟议的模型包括由教授、博士后或研究生组成的团队进行全天候指导；精简的短期课程，让参与者更快地开始他们的研究项目；每天与导师开会，计划全天的活动； MatLab 培训可快速转变研究想法。参与者参加短期课程，将自己与他们最想要的项目主题相匹配，并花足够的时间进行重点研究。然后，他们可以选择全年跟进，与教授合作撰写项目技术报告、准备 GRE 考试并申请研究生课程。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论文提交给经过评审的会议，论文被接受，然后参加会议并展示论文。
