Computer Vision Laboratory

The computer vision laboratory was created in 2001. Its central interest is the development of new paradigms in computer vision, as well as the application of image processing, machine learning and computational intelligence techniques to solve computer vision and pattern recognition problems.

Its main lines of research are: analysis of faces in images and videos (detection, recognition, tracking); detection and tracking of humans; object detection and recognition and scene analysis; vision in mobile robots (self-localization, tracking, visual SLAM).

Cameras (visible spectrum and thermal spectrum), depth sensors (Kinect and Laser). Desktop computers and computers for scientific calculation.
