   Dr. Matthies' research interests have focused on vision systems for autonomous navigation.While at CMU, he developed the first accurate visual deadreckoning algorithm for robot vehicles.In 1990 at JPL, he achieved a breakthrough in algorithms for real-time 3D perception with stereo vision.Both of these capabilities were incorporated in the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission and are now in demand for applications on Earth.His group developed a Descent Image Motion Estimation System (DIMES) for the MER landers that used feature tracking to estimate horizontal velocity in the last 2 km of descent to control retrorocket firing.He leads research to extend descent image processing to include landmark recognition and hazard detection to enable autonomous safe and precise landing.
