The Department is involved in low-level image processing and pictorial pattern recognition research. Major application areas are biomedicine, remote sensing, astronomy, and art conservation.

  • Recognition of distorted images and patterns by invariant descriptors regardless of their actual position in the scene
  • Registration and fusion of several images of the same scene taken at different times, by different sensors and/or from different viewpoints in order to obtain information of higher quality
  • Theory of moment invariants, namely of rotation invariants, affine invariants and invariants
    to convolution.
  • Restoration of degraded images, namely multichannel blind deconvolution, edgepreserving
    denoising, local contrast enhancement, and color transformations
