Terrance E. Boult is El Pomar
Endowed Chair of Innovation and Security and Professor of
Computer Science at the University of
Colorado at Colorado Spring . Dr. Boult runs 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 El Pomar Instititue for Innovation and Commeralization 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
Before joining UCCS 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. Dr. Boult was on the faculty of Columbia University from 1986 (Associate Prof. 1992-1994) before joing Lehigh in 1994. He studied at Columbia University, earning his MS and PhD degrees in computer science in 1984 and 1986 respectively.
Dr. Boult has been the organizer of dozens related conferences/workshops for IEEE, including both biometrics and embedded systems, as well as invited speaker on biometrics for ASIS and at the NIST Biometric Quality Workshop. He is the chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and a founding memeber of the IEEE Biometric Council.
Dr. Boult has published over 150 papers and holds 7 patents, with 9 patents pending. He publishes in Computer Vision/Robotics as well as in Networking and Mobile Computing. He has been the co-organizer of multiple workshops of visual surveillance, performance evaluation of tracking systems, 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.
Dr. Boult's ongoing research projects include advanced biometrics , advanced visual security systems, design and evaluation of imaging sensors, FPGA-acceleration algorithms for Vision, Embedded systems, algorithms for efficient use of wireless networks, Network performance, network security, steganslysis, medical imaging, and Web-based support systems for Trauma patients.
Dr Boult is the Co-founder, CEO/CTO of Securics Inc (www.securics.com), which is addressing security and biometrics technology. Since its founding in 2004, Securics has been actively commercializing technology developed by Dr. Boult at UCCS and has won 5 Phase I and 3 Phase 2 SBIR/STTRs as well as multiple commercial contracts. With exclusive licenses to 6 pending patents Securics has unqiue technologies that simultaneously improve security and privacy. Securics was selected by the US Military to develop a long-range facial recognition system using Securics unique technology.
From 2002-2004, Dr. Boult was the founding the Chief Technology officer for GuardianSolutions Inc, where he helped to develop the leading video-based intelligent security systems sold to some of the largest ports in the country, the financial institutions, large pharmaceutical companies, as well developing unique portable systems for the the Military and boarder patrol. GuardianSolutions, (dba Jtech) was acquired by Telephonics, a subsidiary of Griffon Corporation (NYSE: GFF).
From 1998 to present Dr. Boult has been working with Cyclovison (now doing business as Remote Reality ), where he continues to pursue joint contracts and help in automated analysis of their unique 360 imaging technology. Remote Reality is a venture backed company which is the leading designer and manufacturer of next-generation intelligent omni video systems (IOVS). Major customers include the US Departmet of Defensen and Lockheed Martin.

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.
