Congratulations to our labmate, Josh Peeples, for passing his Oral Qualifying Exam and becoming a PhD candidate!  For the remainder of his PhD work, Josh plans on investigating fundamental research questions on “Connecting the Past and the Present: Histogram Layers for Deep Neural Networks”. His committee thinks it’s an interesting topic — and we do […]

The Machine Learning and Sensing Lab is excited to welcome Justin Pitts to our lab as a new Ph.D. student! Justin completed his BS in Biology at Stetson University and MS in Forestry at Mississippi State University. He will be working in our lab as well as Dr. Rowland’s lab under the Center for Stress […]

Congratulations to our labmate, Weihuang Xu, for accepting an internship at Volkswagen Group of America! Wei will be interning this summer on VW’s California-based team in the ICC-Perception and Machine Learning group. Great job, Wei!

Congratulations to our labmate, Kevin Naughton, for accepting a Software Engineering position at Google! Kevin will be starting at Google this Fall in Mountain View, CA. Enjoy Silicon Valley, Kevin!

Headwall Photonics and the University of Florida recently hosted a  free hyperspectral webinar.  During the webinar, Headwall representatives as well as current UF students and postdoctoral researchers discussed how hyperspectral imaging  (HSI) technologies are providing new insights into the plant sciences.  In case you missed the seminar — don’t worry.  Headwall recorded the talks and […]

Abstract: High-resolution cameras have become very helpful for plant phenotyping by providing a mechanism for tasks such as target versus background discrimination, and the measurement and analysis of fine-above-ground plant attributes. However, the acquisition of high-resolution (HR) imagery of plant roots is more challenging than above-ground data collection. Thus, an effective super-resolution (SR) algorithm is […]

While current circumstances have hindered our ability to meet together physically, the MLSL hasn’t slowed down. But it’s not all work without play.  Lab members are meeting over Zoom to talk, play games and support each other during these uncertain times.  We are all stronger together!

Congratulations to GatorSense alumna, Xiaoxiao Du!  Her paper, titled “Multi-resolution Multi-modal Sensor Fusion For Remote Sensing Data with Label Uncertainty”, was recently published in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing.   Check it out here!

Members of the Machine Learning and Sensing Lab recently tuned in to a webinar hosted by Headwall Photonics and the University of Florida.  During the webinar, Headwall representatives discussed hyperspectral imaging  (HSI) technologies and  gave a crash course on data collection and material classification with HSI.  Current UF students and postdoctoral researchers presented on their […]

Congratulations to our labmate, Dr. Susan Meerdink, for accepting an assistant professor position at the University of Iowa in Iowa City! Susan will be continuing her research endeavors in the Department of Geographical and Sustainability Sciences beginning August 2020. We will be following her great work and encourage everyone to do the same.  Check out […]
