Project Description

Throughout Marquette University's 10-week summer REU program, Computation Across the Disciplines, I will be researching applications of graph theory to computer vision and image segmentation problems. More specifically, I hope to be able to utilize the graph-cut technique in order to isolate images of the heart and its components from CT scans provided by local hospitals. I will be working under the guidance of Dr. Naveen Bansal.

Week 1 (5/29 - 6/1)

Tuesday 5/29

  • Attended REU orientation
  • Met briefly with Dr. Bansal to begin planning the summer's research

Wednesday 5/30

  • Read introduction to Neural Networks: a Comprehensive Foundation
  • Met with Dr. Bansal and graduate student to begin learning about statistical applications to image segmentation

Thursday 5/31

  • Met with graduate student to obtain preliminary research publications
  • Met with Dr. Bansal to clarify research goals and outline the structure of the project
  • Read several research articles and located five articles for further reading

Friday 6/1

  • Familiarized myself with several graph-theoretic terms and concepts, in preparation for future research
  • Continued to read through the five research articles chosen on Thursday.
