Current Projects

Open Source Three-Dimensional Image Understanding System FREEDIUS is a portable, open-source image understanding workbench. It is the successor to the 3DIUS/CME system.

Past Projects

	Behavioral Probes Activity Recognition in outdoor settings.
	Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes As part of DARPA’s Personalized Assistant that Learns (PAL) program, SRI and team members are working on developing a next-generation "Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes" (CALO).

Software

	FREEDIUS FREEDIUS is a free Geospatial Image Understanding system. It is a portable, open-source successor to SRI’s 3DIUS system (including CME, Image-Calc, RADIUS Common Development Environment, and other Image Understanding tools).
	Radius Common Development Environment A rapid prototyping system for 3-D image understanding algorithms.
