This presentation is an overview of what we are seeing now regarding countries stealing our intellectual property and proprietary information. It will cover internet security, personal security, travel security, social engineering, etc. (And this the week after the Congress works on the new Intellectual Property/Patent Law!) Joseph J. Papes, is the Strategic Partnership Coordinator in the St. Louis Division. His background is that I am a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent with over 33 years experience working in the Counterintelligence and Cyber fields. He now works for the FBI as a consultant/contractor. His job, as the Strategic Partnership is to conduct outreach/liaison activities to the general business and academic communities of St. Louis to help them protect their proprietary/intellectual property. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stlLUG Computer Vision with OpenCV & Face Recognition OpenCV - Open Source Computer vision - is a library of c/c++ functions for real time compute vision. OpenCV was originally developed by Intel and is now supported by Willow Garage. OpenCV can run on Linux/Windows/Mac platforms. One of the many built in features of OpenCV is face detection. OpenCV also provides algorithms for facial recognition. This presentation will briefly cover some OpenCV basics, then I'll show how face detection and recognition can be performed using OpenCV's built in functions. My examples run on Ubuntu and are written in c. Knowledge of image processing is not necessary but some c/c++ experience will be helpful to follow the examples. The face detection algorithm that comes with OpenCV uses Haar-like features. Haar-like features can be used for object recognition. More information on Haar-like features can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haar-like_features http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/FaceDetection The Face Recognition algorithm I will show is called Eigenface with Principal Component Analysis. Principal Component Analysis is a technique used to remove noise from an image and extract values representing the variance in a set of images. These values can be used to compute the distance between images. Eigenface with PCA is not the most accurate facial recognition approach, but it is a good place to start since many Machine vision algorithms are based on this technique.

Its syntax, kernel compilation, and environment are very similar to other versions of UNIX. Students interested in Linux can take the UNIX series of classes to learn the basics of the operating system. Advanced UNIX: Script Files (Prerequisite: Intermediate Commands of UNIX/Linux or equivalent experience.) This course covers the design and use of UNIX script files for custom applications. Topics include the consideration of the Bourne shell and C shell as programming languages, user-defined variables (including arrays), numeric variables, operators, assignment statements, and input/output operations. Learn the standard programming concepts, such as conditional statements, loop statements, and recursion, in the context of shell programming. Sample programs will be discussed to demonstrate techniques of using UNIX commands.

Cosmology is the study of the nature, structure, and evolution of the Universe at large. Thermodynamics is the study of heat and its effects on matter and other forms of energy. The Scientific Method is the basic problem-solving approach that underlies the amazing delivered by science in the past four hundred years. Dr. Criss will use these three tools to pose and explore some of the great questions of science and philosophy. Some examples: What is time, and how is the Universe evolving? Is the Universe large but finite, or does it go on without limit? What was the beginning of all things, and what might be the ending? Robert Criss is a Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University. He uses precise measurements of stable atomic isotopes to probe the origin of rocks and natural waters. His primary research interests include the study of contaminated substances through groundwater flows, the behavior of flood waters in the Meramec, Missouri, and Mississippi basins, the effects of human construction on river flows, and the circulation of water in deep hydrothermal systems.
