Author Biographies

Gaile Gordon

Gaile Gordon is a member of the technical staff in the Visual Exploitation Technologies Department at TASC. Her area of expertise centers on image analysis, segmentation, and description for a variety of applications and data modalities. Current work has focused on content based image search, face recognition in intensity and depth images, machine inspection, and analysis of 3D surface data. Dr. Gordon received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from MIT in 1985 and 1986 respectively. She received an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Computer Science, in 1989 and 1991 respectively, from the Division of Applied Sciences at Harvard University. Her Ph.D thesis presented several approaches to the problem of face recognition based on curvature descriptors calculated from range data. Dr. Gordon has presented papers at national and international conferences in the field of computer vision. She was an invited participant to the first NSF Summer Institute in Japan, and the NATO Advanced Study Institute on the topic of Active Vision.

Marquess Lewis

Marquess Lewis has ten years experience in the exploitation of imagery for geometric information and developing geometric models of sensor systems. Mr. Lewis' academic background is in classical photogrammetry with B.S and M.S. degrees from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. As a Member of Technical Staff at TASC for 6 years, Mr. Lewis has been involved in the development of algorithms and software for generating geometric models of objects imaged with hand-held cameras, processing SPOT stereo satellite imagery, and performing rectification of airborne scanner imagery. Prior to joining TASC, Mr. Lewis was employed by DBA Systems and developed software and algorithms for geopositioning workstations. Recent areas of interest include video exploitation using structure from motion and modeling highly dynamic sensor systems.
