Terry E Weymouth. His dissertation in Computer Vision continued to work in Knowledge-Based Image Understanding in the medical image domains. It also lead into work in Knowledge-Based Sensor-Guided Robot Navigation. The work in robot navigation contributed heavily to the winning effort of the University of Michigan team at the 93-AAAI robot navigation contest.The work in medical image understanding resulted in several dissertations and did the robot navigation work. More recently, he has been involved in work in the development of Collaboration Technology for the support of Medical Diagnosis and for the support of Distributed Remote Scientific Experimentation. For four and a half years he was first lead programmer and then technical manager on the development and research team for the Upper Atmospheric Research Collaboratory in which he guided the development of the first version (prototype) of a large scale collaboration testbed for remote distributed science.
