Dear Prospective Employer:

I am a graduate student at Michigan State University, anticipating grad-
uation in June, 1992, with a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science.  I am 
working in the area of computer vision in general, with emphasis on
low-level vision and Image processing. My career interest is in the 
development of cost- effective image analysis systems as an alternative 
to existing high cost systems.

During my graduate studies and my summer internship, I have been ex-
posed to a wide variety of techniques for Image analysis, Pattern recog-
nition and Parallel processing. This has given me a strong background in
the following areas: Image segmentation, edge detection, object recog-
nition, texture analysis, and pattern classification.

Enclosed you will find a resume, including a list of my publications
and references. I will be glad to send copies of my publications, official
transcripts, additional references or any other necessary information, if
you are interested.

Thank you for your consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from
you.

Sincerely,
Sateesha G. Nadabar
