Description

HTTTL is the instructional laboratory associated with Boston University’s NSF-funded Engineering Research Center, the Gordon Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (CenSSIS). The laboratory houses a variety of PC-based imaging camera systems, machine vision systems and acoustic imaging systems. Software for imaging includes MATLAB, Image Processing Toolbox, Image Builder, and LabVIEW. The HTTTL supports freshman EK131/132 modules in imaging and subsurface imaging, senior design capstone projects in imaging, and experiments in senior level electives related to imaging. The lab also hosts summer research through UROP, REU, RET and High School Honors programs. Some undergrads are supported during the academic year to work on improving stations in the HTTTL.
