Terry Boult is the El Pomar
Endowed Chair of Innovation and Security and Professor of
Computer Science at the University of
Colorado at Colorado Spring . I run the Vision and Security Technology Lab
(VAST lab) where my students and I are doing projects in Security
including surveillance, biometrics, sensor networks, and distributed
steganalaysis and general projects in computer vision. I work with The Colorado Institute for Technology
Transfer and Implementation (CITTI) through which I work with
many local companies.
My wife (Ginger) and I have a beautiful house in Monument CO. While I work hard, I play hard too and I am really enjoying the Colorado boarding and the "air"

I have an office in EAS, one at the vast lab, and one in the Colorado Springs Incubator, where my company, Securics Inc has its office. Also through my role in CITTI, I have lots of meetings off campus. Finding my by dropping in is a low probably event. Try to arrange a meeting by email.
Note that I run a pretty aggressive spam filter, if you don't get a response to email with 48hours, try again and add the word "innovation" to your subject line.

In the News..
In April I was interviewed by J. Bloom of KOAA News about my work on biometrics and how
I showed them how easy it is to spoof/fake fingerprints.

In Fall 2007 I co-taughtp ITechKnow with Morgan Sheppard of College of Business and Rick Redella, a local entrepreneur. This is a freshman seminar that is a survey of Engineering Technology and its impact on society.
In Spring 2007 I again taught Software Engineering (CS330) which is an intensive hands-on experience for the students. We've lined up multiple local companies who will be the "clients" for the requirement/specification/design aspects of the class.
In Fall 2006 I taught Computational Image Processing (CS505) This is a graduate course on image processing, with an emphasis on computational rather than theoretical aspects. Programming in both C++ and Matlab is required.
In Fall 2006 I co-taughtp ITechKnow with Dean J. Haefner. This is a freshman seminar that is a survey of Engineering Technology and its impact on society.
In Spring 2006 I taught Software Engineering (CS330) which was an intensive hands-on experience for the students. We've lined up multiple local companies who will be the "clients" for the requirement/specification/design aspects of the class.
In Spring 2005 I taught cs601 Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property and Patents for Engineering And since it finished we have had 3 patents filed from the class, and two of the student were instrumental in defending their company from a patent infringement suit!.
In Fall 2004 I taught CS692 Advanced topics in Security and Programing Languages (CS316) , at UCCS.
In Spring 2004 I taught teaching CS 584 Computer Vision at UCCS.
I have also started up a company, Securics addressing security, biometrics and privacy.
Other Stuff of interest
Until July 2003 he was the Weiseman Chair Professor and the New Century Fund Professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University, where he was the founding chairman of the CSE department. From Aug 2002 through Jan 2004 he was the Chief Technology officer for GuardianSolutions Inc, helping to develop the next generation of sensor-based security systems.
Dr. Boult's ongoing research projects include advanced biometrics , advanced visual security systems, design and evaluation of imaging sensors for facial recognition, evaluation of weather effects on facial recognition, algorithms for efficient use of wireless networks, with funding by DARPA, ONR, the Army Night Vision Lab, and Siemens, the AT&T Foundation, the Lucent Foundation, RemoteReality Inc, McQ Associates, PadCom Inc, and Pennsylvania Infrastructure Technology Alliance and the Ben Franklin Foundation of PA.
Dr. Boult has published over 120 papers holds 6 patents. He has been the co-organizer of multiple workshops of Visual Surveillance, and computer vision related topics, and has been on program committees for more than a two dozen IEEE and SPIE conferences and workshops on computer vision and sensor fusion and as well on the ACM program committee in software engineering. He has served as an associate editor for IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Perception (IEEE PAMI), Dr. Boult studied at Columbia University, earning his B.S. in Applied Mathematics in 1983, and his M.S. and Ph.D degrees in computer science in 1984 and 1986 respectively. He was on the faculty of Columbia University from 1986 until joining Lehigh in 1994. He received an NSF Presidential Young Investigator award, and has won teaching awards at both Columbia University and Lehigh University.

I'm also play a bit of Table Tennis. I picked it up again in 2004
since El Pomar, who funded my Chair, also sponsors the Colorado State
games. In the 2006 Colorado State games, I took silver in the
recreational singles (left) from a field over 16 participants, took
bronze in the single over 40, and bronze in the recreational double
(middle) with Tao Zhang a postdoc in the VAST Lab. In the 2005 State
Games of Americia my partner
Xiaobo(Joe) Zhou and I won the gold in the mens recreational doubles
, sucesssfuly defining our 2004 Rocky Mountain State Games title.
And in 2005 Joe won the Gold in the mens recreational singles (so you
can tell where the real skill was :-) In 2006 I improved a good bit
(winning metals on my own), thanks to a table in the basement and a
robot so I can practice (right). In 2007 I again won double gold with
Joe.
