Zare selected as a 2018 SPIE Rising Researcher

The international society for optics and photonics, SPIE, has selected Dr. Alina Zare as a 2018 Rising Researcher for Defense & Commercial Sensing (DCS).

After a rigorous examination of Dr. Zare’s research, service, and leadership activities, SPIE determined that her work:

  • showed a record of service and leadership
  • advanced scientific or product development in a significant way
  • provided a clear picture of how their work fits in to the broader scientific picture

 

While the SPIE website only specified one particular paper, a total of six papers co-authored by Dr. Zare were considered:

  1. D. Stewart, A. Zare, J. Cobb, “Quantitative Evaluation Metrics for Superpixel Segmentation,” in Proc. SPIE 10182, Detection and Sensing of Mines, Explosive Objects, and Obscured Targets XXIII, 2017. To Appear.
  2. J. Peeples, D. Suen, A. Zare, J. Keller, “Possibilistic Fuzzy Local Information C-Means with Auto- mated Feature Selection for Seafloor Segmentation,” in Proc. SPIE 10182, Detection and Sensing of Mines, Explosive Objects, and Obscured Targets XXIII, 2017. To Appear
  3. P. Lyons, D. Suen, A. Galusha, A. Zare, J. Keller, “Comparison of Prescreening Algorithms for Target Detection in Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery,” in Proc. SPIE 10182, Detection and Sensing of Mines, Explosive Objects, and Obscured Targets XXIII, 2017. To Appear
  4. T. Nabelek, J. Keller, A. Zare, “Fractal Analysis of Seafloor Textures for Target Detection in Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery,” in Proc. SPIE 10182, Detection and Sensing of Mines, Explosive Objects, and Obscured Targets XXIII, 2017. To Appear
