\F0\CName:  THOMAS O. BINFORD
Born:  April 13,1936
Nationality: USA

EDUCATION:
\F3BS	physics		Pennsylvania State University	1957
PhD 	physics		University of Wisconsin		1965

\F0CURRENT RESEARCH: Stanford University, 1970 to present
\JCurrently, I lead a research group in the Computer Science Department,
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Stanford University.  We are fifteen
people involved in research in two areas: pattern recognition (machine
perception) and robotics.  Our work in visual perception is directed
to three applications: \.

\jIndustrial inspection and visual coordination of assembly, supported
by NSF.  The most important impact of machine vision in industry
is to solve problems
for which no adequate solutions exist now.  One problem area is inspection,
which humans don't do well, and which is increasingly required for safety-
related items.  Another problem area is adapting assembly machines to work
with existing assembly lines.  No matter how accurate a machine
is, it must cope with usual assembly line tolerances or be useful only when
when it pays to rebuild the entire line.\.

\jPlanetary Exploration supported by NASA.  A small effort is directed
to stereo perception and navigation of an exploratory vehicle.  The payoff
for NASA is that the range of navigation and the number of experiments can
be increased by a factor of 100, with limited autonomy.  Round trip transit
times of 25 minutes limit the response time of a Mars lander under control
from earth.\.

\jImage Understanding, supported by DARPA.  Stereo and motion
parallax perception are developed and applied to photointerpretation
and cartography.\.

\JThe other area of research is robotics, applied to industrial assembly,
particularly for hazardous environments.  The research is supported by
NSF; a product of the research is a programming language for industrial assembly
including sensory feedback from touch and force.   A possible fallout
from this research is techniques useful in prosthetics.\.

\JOur research goals are to understand perceptual, motor, and cognitive
structures in human intelligence and machine intelligence.  Specifically,
the goals are to find mathematical and computational representations
for shape of complex objects, and texture and spatial organization of
visual features, and to find procedural forms for describing scenes
in terms of those representations, and for recognition of complex objects.
Our goal is to develop a theoretical base which leads to powerful programs
for building image analysis systems for applications such as those mentioned
above and others, including biomedical analysis.\.


MIT, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1967-1970
\JBefore coming to Stanford, I worked in the same areas of research in 
computer science and Artificial Intelligence at MIT.\.

POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH:1965-1966
\JPrior to coming to MIT, I took a Fulbright grant at Tata Institute
of Fundamental Research,Bombay India.  During that period I did the
following research in fundamental particle physics:
partial wave analysis of hyperon production by pions;
Regge-pole analysis of Sigma plus production by pions;
theory of unstable particles and symmetry principles.\.

PhD in Physics
\JI did research in fundamental particle physics experimentation and
phenomenology based on theoretical models.  The results included:
experimental investigation of strange particle production by pions near 1 Bev/c;
two new experimental equalities among cross sections;
test of charge independence in hyperon production;
Regge-pole model of high-energy elastic scattering cross sections.\.

\F2\CQUALIFICATIONS

\JI have a research background in the areas of computer science, visual
perception, and physics.  I have a good background in mathematics,
industrial automation, and experience in project management. \.
