CURRENT RESEARCH
The 3D Vision Lab at MSU explores the boundaries of Computer Vision in a dynamically changing three-dimensional world. It asks: how can we estimate properties of moving and stationary objects in the world given inherent ambiguities, noise and resolution limits of our sensors? A variety of two and three-dimensional sensors are employed, as well as fusion of the sensors.
Among 3D Vision Lab projects are: CANVAS autonomous vehicle research focused on novel perception systems to enable robust driving in all conditions; localization with high-definition 3D maps; obstacles and foliage discrimination for Lidar; a pyramid CNN for dense-leaves segmentation and sensor development to assess photosynthesis distribution on plant bodies.
Dr. Morris also serves as advisor for the MSU AutoDrive Challenge team, a three-year SAE autonomous vehicle student design competition sponsored by General Motors. Michigan State University is among eight North American universities selected for the AutoDrive Challenge.
