AISRP workshop '97 presentation,    E. Merényi, U of Arizona, LPL

5. Accomplishments

1991 - 1997

• Development of prototypes, 1991 -
• 14 papers in journals and conference volumes (1993-97)  that  demonstrate usefulness of ANN approach in spectral analysis, for surface composition research of Mars, Earth, asteroids.

• Ongoing collaborations and related activities: Mars Pathfinder, Clementine, PACES at U Texas, asteroid research; JOVE mentoring, Co-I on proposed Mars 2001 orbiter mission; scientific secretary of WG III/5 "Theory and Algorithms", of ISPRS (responsible for promotion of hyperspectral analysis algorithms);      

1997 -

• March 1997: AISRP grant! (hiring help, buying faster computer)

• GUI under way, soon to be done. A top level view of the User Interface note 5.1

• Prototypes being improved and connected under GUI  

  • NuralWare modules' deployment and integration in progress; New Khoros (2.2) installation and learning;
  • special focus at this time on tools to explore /understand ANN behavior (e.g. side effects by large volume and high dimensions), and on tools to evaluate classification results, in order to improve/.test robustness for large-scale applications

Next year we expect to present an alpha version of the integrated environment with all vital components.
