Application deadline for the 2001 program is April 20. Click here for a copy of the application. The program holds additional activities during the academic year culminating in a workshop for the previous summer's participants. The morph animation above is the result of one of these workshop. The Institute comprises five weeks of classes with hands-on laboratory practice.
Instructors are prominent experts in the fields of computer graphics and expert systems.
This hands-on experience includes high performance software to produce 3D geometric models, and expert systems that allow the students to create rovers which use artificial intelligence to explore unknown terrains on unknown surfaces of planets. Students visit science and engineering research laboratories on campus, as well as local computer companies. In addition, guest lectures describe their particular research, such as medical imaging, virtual reality, and scientific visualation. Students will see and experience many real-life applications to the things they learn from the Institute. Check out the 2000 web page to see models generated by students last summer.
