Dr. Roy-Chowdhury leads the Video Computing Group at UCR. His group is studying problems in video analysis with applications in national and homeland security, commercial multimedia and computational biology. The underlying approach of his research is to harness various methods in systems theory, signal processing, machine learning, mathematics and statistics to the analysis of images and videos in order to obtain an understanding of their content. This scientific understanding can lead to machine vision technologies that can provide an automated/semi-automated analysis of the 3D environment from images/videos, analogous to the capabilities of biological visual systems. Currently, the group is focused on multi-agent autonomous camera networks, modeling and recognition of complex behaviors in video, and image-based modeling of biological gowth dynamics (specifically in plants). Prof. Roy-Chowdhury is a PI on several grants from the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Army Research Office, DARPA, and private industries like CISCO and Lockheed-Martin. He has served as a program committe member and reviewer in various capacities, organized workshops and special sessions, is an Associate Editor of the journal Machine Vision Applications, and a Section Editor of Elsevier’s Electronic Reference on Signal Processing. He has recently co-edited a book on the topic of "Distributed Video Sensor Networks". For more details, please see his CV.
