The Department is involved in basic research in image processing and pictorial pattern recognition. Major application areas are biomedicine, remote sensing, astronomy, and art conservation.
We are dealing with a wide variety of degradations that are common in digital imaging. Namely we consider noise, blurring, insufficient resolution and color deformations. The main research topics are
We have been involved in several cultural heritage applications. Nowadays art restorers and conservators are using various visual sensors for better analysis of old artworks and modern image processing methods can facilitate their work. The following list presents areas where our team was involved
We are active in developing mathematical and computational algorithms capable of detecting the traces of tampering in digital images. Below are short descriptions of some of our past and current work in this field.
