Ph.D. Thesis: Information Abstraction Visualization for Human-Robot Interaction
Future emergency incident responses, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE), will incorporate robots. The ability to interact with robots and understand the resulting volumes of information requires a system of human-robot interfaces employing directable visualizations that provide ...

General Visualization Abstraction Algorithm for Geographic Map-Based Directable Interfaces
This project involved presented a novel approach to performing information abstraction (i.e., selection and grouping) and determining how each information item should be presented (i.e., its shape) in direct-able visualizations for the emergency incident response. [Read full arcticle]
Addressing Information Sharing in Directable Interfaces via DIARE Concept
Decision Information Abstracted to a Relevant Encapsulation (DIARE) is based on the idea that evidence for a particular decision can be represented as a defined volume in the visualization’s information space spanning six components [x, y, e, t, s, m]. This defined volume becomes an object, or DIARE object, and ... [Read full arcticle]
A Human Eye like Perspective for Remote Vision
Remote imagery is usually affected by the keyhole effect, or viewing the world through a “soda straw.” This project focused on reducing the keyhole effect by improving the viewing angle of the imagery using a novel method that produces results more akin to that provided by the human vision system. The human eye ... [Read full arcticle]

Robotic Tasks for CBRNE Incident Response
Robots can significantly impact the CBRNE Response activities by providing directed, specific, first-hand information prior to and during hot zone entry. Hot zone entry is not permitted until there is a preliminary hazard identification, responders don PPEs, decontamination facilities are established, etc. Rapid robot ... [Read full arcticle]
Visualization for Effectively Co-located GIS Map Items
One of my summer project (2009) is to supervisor someone for awhile on a projected I designed. This year’s project is entited “Visualization for Effectively Co-located GIS Map Items” (title did take a while to invent). The official project paragraph is below along with a mockup of the idea we are ... [Read full arcticle]
Designing a System of User Interfaces for Controlling Robots for Emergency Incident Response
The emergency response incidents (e.g., Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents or weapons of mass destruction) are evolving from a response involving humans (e.g. first responders, government officials, civilians) with equipment (e.g. protective suits, vehicles, sensors) to a response ...

Cognitive Information Flow Analysis (CIFA)
The Cognitive Information Flow Analysis (CIFA) is a method to combine results from multiple cognitive task analyses while providing a focus on the necessary system information flow, which includes how information is produced, consumed, and transformed by the various system functions and users. This project explored the CIFA ... [Read full arcticle]
Emergency Response System Human-Robot Interaction User Levels
This project formulated how the large numbers of individuals that can be involved in an emergency response event can be encapsulated into ten different Emergency Response System Human-Robot Interaction User Levels that represent the various manners in which responders will interact with future robotic systems. The ten user ... [Read full arcticle]
Multiple Robot Interfaces Scalability and the Halo Concept
As multiple robot systems become more common, it is necessary to develop scalable human-robot interfaces that permit the inclusion of additional robots without reducing the overall system performance. This project focused on the development of a scalable interface for a single human-to-multiple robot system with the ... [Read full arcticle]
