The SmartTools Lab is in need of students to work on an NSF funded research
project this summer. In this project, we are building software that can
understand engineering sketches drawn on an electronic whiteboard. We are
creating a specialized machine learning approach to learn to recognize
sketched objects. We are also developing a novel parsing algorithm which
uses temporal information to disambiguate roughly sketched objects. Solid
C++ programming skills are required as well as some experience with OpenGL.
Experience with the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) is also desirable.

This is a great opportunity to be involved in the creation of an exicting
new technology. If you are interested please contact Professor Stahovich as
soon as possible.
