The University of Arkansas has joined a nationwide research team funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop next-generation video object tracking technology. Led by electrical engineering and computer science assistant professor and UA Power Group member Jeff Dix, the U of A team is designing ultra-efficient analog circuits that could make video analysis 2,000 times more power efficient than current systems. If successful, the project could bring up to $6 million in federal research funding to the university.
