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.
Main scientific areas
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
Image forensics - detection of image forgeries
Cultural heritage applications - cooperation with art conservators in order to facilitate the conservation and material analysis work
Cyril Hὅschl, a Ph.D. student in Dept. of Image Processing, was awarded the Innovation Award given by The International Institute for Advanced Studies in Systems Research and Cybernetics. The award was presented to him at the 24th International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics held in Baden-Baden, Germany, 2012.
The Spring School of Image Processing is a popular meeting point of students and researchers from several Czech institutions involved in image processing research as well as guests from abroad.
The program of the 2012nd edition of the Spring School of Image Processing will consist mainly of tutorial talks given by organizers from the Department of Image Processing (ÚTIA) and participating Ph.D. students. More about the program you can find on the web of Image Processing Department.
The Winter School of Image Processing is a popular meeting point of students and researchers from several Czech institutions involved in image processing research as well as guests from abroad. It is held annually by the end of January.
The program of the 3th edition of the Winter School of Image Processing will consist mainly of tutorial talks given by organizers from the Department of Image Processing (ÚTIA) and participating Ph.D. students.
