This project is developed primarily by Andrew Peterson and Alireza Khorshidi in the Brown University School of Engineering. Specific credits:

  • Andrew Peterson: lead, PI, many modules
  • Alireza Khorshidi: many modules, Zernike descriptor
  • Zack Ulissi: tensorflow version of neural network
  • Muammar El Khatib: general contributions

We are also indebted to Nongnuch Artrith (MIT) and Pedro Felzenszwalb (Brown) for inspiration and technical discussion.
