Welcome, my name is Jonathan Adams. 

I manage a team of student-researchers in the FSU computer vision lab, located in the WIlliam-Johnston Building. The lab develops or assists with computer vision research projects, such as developing tools and techniques to create synthetic data sets. The synthetic data is then mixed with a much smaller number of authentic images to train computer vision models.

The lab includes some of the best and brightest students who actively conduct computer vision research. Currently, a team of five students work in the lab. In May of 2021 the first graduate of the lab started a company and has been inducted into the NVIDIA inception accelerator program!

The FSU computer vision lab focuses on working with YOLO and OpenCV projects as well as generating datasets that can be used for training AI systems. Our approach focuses on producing explainable algorithms that are capable of being put to work in the field. 

The lab started with a research project that examined algorithms for search and rescue. We soon realized that quality images are essential to efficient training, and in many cases, there just are not enough of that kind of imagery in existence to train computer vision models. Our work hopes to provide synthetic datasets for all manner of AI work and research. Shout out to Dean Larry Dennis for supporting the effort to develop the lab.
