Research summary
AI-generated

Mary L. Comer works on signal processing and machine learning methods applied to problems such as anomaly detection in spacecraft telemetry, hypersonic vehicle trajectory prediction, remote sensing image analysis, and object localization in noisy imagery. Much of the work involves developing statistical models (such as Markov random fields and stochastic grammars) and machine learning approaches (including neural networks and transfer learning) for detecting unusual patterns or classifying behavior in time-series and image data. The research has practical applications in aerospace monitoring, satellite imagery analysis, and defense-related trajectory prediction.
