Brown University is located in Providence, capital of the very LARGE state of Rhode Island:

Brown is one of the oldest university of the USA, dating back to 1771. It is part of the Ivy league, which includes Harvard, Princeton, etc.

Part of the campus.	In a few weeks/days ...

Its campus counts over 200 buildings and fields of study cover all major areas of Arts and Sciences and Technologies.

LEMS

Within the Division of Engineering, is LEMS:

LEMS provides an outlet for collaborative research on the design and analysis of intelligent computer systems. The Laboratory was founded in 1981 within the Electrical Sciences faculty of the Division of Engineering at Brown University. The faculty members associated with LEMS have expertise and interests in theoretical and practical problems in the following areas:

• Computer Vision and (Medical) Image Processing
• Pattern Recognition
• Modeling and Control of Complex Dynamical Systems
• Industrial Design and Methodology
• Speech Recognition and Processing
• Microphone Array Systems
• Digital Signal Processing
• High-Performance Low-Power Computer Architectures
• VLSI Computer-Aided Design.

Professors at LEMS:

Existing or Planned Collaborations:

In vivo joint kinematics

Isolated Character & Small Text-Segment Detection - D.Cooper

Digital Color Halftoning - B.Kimia

• Industrial partner : Astro-Med Inc
• Digital Halftoning is the process of arranging a pattern of dots to create the illusion of a gray-scale or colored image.
• Explicit use is made of perceptual concepts such as edges, scale, color, and texture in the modeling how a halftone is perceived.
