High-resolution satellite imagery became commercially available in late 1999 with the launch of Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite. In subsequent years, several other high-resolution commercial satellites were launched ...

framework that integrates social, environmental, and infrastructural knowledge base to empower health researchers' use of geospatial context to timely answer population health issues. Needed is a novel analytical framework designed to leverage location...

We have developed a web server for the life sciences community to use to search for short repeats of DNA sequence of length between 3 and 10 000 bases within multiple species. This search employs a unique and fast hash ...

havens among other unstable governments throughout the Near East. Contrary to common public perception, Scheuer (2004) and Brachman (2009) suggest a conscious effort on the part of the Taliban and Al-Qa'ida to face the U.S. in the form of a modern...

The program for the April 12, 2011 colloquium on Emerging Threats to One Health: Implications to U.S. National Security.

. The goal of this doctoral research was to develop advanced automated and semi-automated image analysis and classification techniques for the extraction of urban area geospatial information products from commercial high-resolution satellite imagery. We...

The document includes a long-term vision for a Show-Me Center for Imaging and Visualization (see page 7). For consistency, with the other parts of the CI Plan, one and three year objectives are provided. This document is designed to help update...

The advent of autonomous navigation, positioning, and in general robotics technologies has enabled the maturity of small to miniature-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs; or colloquially called drones) and their wide ...

) techniques can assist human analysts by rapidly locating geospatial information and have the potential to significantly reduce the amount of time to process and analyze geospatial data. In this research, we have designed and developed systems for automatic...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used in the fields of urban planning, environmental management, agriculture, transportation, utilities etc. because of their ability to provide geospatial information organized in multiple layers...

S) attacks). In this work, we propose a cloud-based, intelligent security framework viz., "DroneNet-Sec" that provides network-edge connectivity and computation security for drone video analytics to defend against common attack vectors in UAV systems...

As the Mizzou Advantage process has unfolded, we funded a significant number of seed grants. A second request for proposals (RFP) was issued in May for additional seed grants to total as much as $1.5 million dollars. In ...

The program for the celebration marking the first round of Mizzou Advantage grant awards includes abstracts of the awarded proposals.

In the event of natural or man-made disasters, geospatial video analytics is valuable to provide situational awareness that can be extremely helpful for first responders. However, geospatial video analytics demands massive imagery/video data...
