Curtis Padgett
Group Leader, Senior Member of Technical Staff
(Short description>>)
Curtis Padgett is a Senior Member of Technical Staff with the Computer Vision Group at JPL. He completed his doctoral work in pattern recognition while working at JPL.
Ph.D. Computer Science, University California, San Diego 1997
M.S. Computer Science, University California, San Diego 1993
B.S. The Evergreen State College Olympia, WA 1991
Task Manager Angelfire (Aug 2006-present)
Project Manager for JPL ATR Development Effort (JADE) (July 2004-Nov. 2005):
JADE is applying JPL pattern recognition technology developed from previous reimbursable tasks to demonstrate autonomous target recognition ability on sponsors data.
Task Manager for Micro-Inspector Collision Avoidance Sub-System (2005-present): Micro-Inspector project is developing a small (< 3kg), free-flying spacecraft designed to provide an external inspection capability for deep space or earth orbit missions. The Collision Avoidance system uses a structured light system to provide position and orientation information for proximity operations around a host spacecraft.
Lead software and algorithm developer for the LAMP sub-system, a part of ST-6 (2002-2003): Software architect, lead algorithm developer and sub-system performance testing lead for LAMP flight-system software on ST-6.
Software and Algorithm lead on VIGILANTE project (1995-1998; Task Manager 1999):
Led the algorithm and software development for VIGILANTE. Led development and testing of an ATR algorithm for recognizing a cruise missile from a moving platform using an advanced, analog processing device. Led the development of the software interface and visualization tools used for the project.
Other Projects with a substantial role:
Task Manager for APS worm cam which used worm motion to monitor for environmental toxins (2004). Task Manager for Patterned Light Investigation for Mars Technology Program (2003). Task Manager for Rendezvous and Sample Return Technolgoy evaluation effort (2001) Task manager for sub-pixel target recognition task in hyperspectral data (1998).
Research Tasks:
Implementation and Automation of Imaging Technologies
Pattern Recognition
