The Big Picture (Read the Abstract)

               VisionPSU is a human interactive robot able to locate and recognize faces with some help from voice identification. This robot was built as a "Senior Design Project" at the Pennsylvania State University by five individuals from three different principles - Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

      The system performed surprisingly well with an accuracy rate of 85% on a half-dozen pre-trained people and competed strongly against systems from other schools, including Carnegie Mellon among others at the 4th Annual Student Design Contest organized by IEEE of RIT chapter, at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), New York.
