This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program provides $904,686 to the University of Illinois from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2029 to advance the application of formal methods, the mathematical techniques used to prove computer system behavior, to visual computing systems. The project aims to develop mathematical frameworks that can provide rigorous quality assurance for technologies used in autonomous vehicles, augmented/virtual reality, and industrial automation, which currently lack such guarantees. Key research thrusts include developing abstract rendering algorithms to quantify error bounds in neural scene representations, and handling neural signed distance functions to enable verification of geometry processing and video generation. The project seeks to create open-source tools and education programs to make these formal verification techniques more accessible to developers and students, helping to establish connections between the formal methods and visual computing research communities.
