Computer Vision
Our computer vision research is both theoretical and applied and is published in journals such as the International Journal of Computer Vision and IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and also as conference papers, patents, and books ("Dynamic Vision", co-authored by McKenna, and the popular "Introductory Techniques to 3-D Computer Vision" by Trucco and Verri).
Research topics include:
- Analysis of human motion
- Vision for assistive and healthcare technologies
- Interacting with image archives
- Computer vision for the built environment
We have been funded through research grants from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the European Union, the UK Technology Strategy Board, the American Alzheimer's Association, commercialisation awards from Scottish Enterprise (including Proof of Concept and a Royal Society of Edinburgh Enterprise Fellowship) and studentships. The group is currently leading the £1.4m TSB-funded FABRIC project on content-based browsing of image archives. Hoey's work on assisting people with dementia using POMDPs has led to clinical trials and a Best Paper Award at ICVS 2007. Collaborations include the University of Toronto, Universities of Surrey (CVSSP) and Bristol (Advanced Comms, EE), BTexact, SONY, the Fraunhofer Institute, Calico Jack Ltd., System Simulation, Liberty Fabric Ltd, and the V&A Museum.
We serve as associate editors on the boards of the Journal of Pattern Analysis and Applications (two associate editors), the IEEE Transactions on System, Man and Cybernetics Part C, and Machine Vision and Applications. Trucco served previously as editor-in-chief of the IEE Proceedings on Vision, Image and Signal Processing. We have edited various special issues of international journals including Image and Vision Computing, Computer Graphics and Models, and the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering. We serve on the scientific committees of various international and national conference committees, including IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), IEEE Int Conf on Computer Vision (ICCV), European Conference of Computer Vision (ECCV), Medical Image Understanding and Analysis (MIUA), British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC), and the Int Conf on Pattern Recognition (ICPR). Trucco is also a founding member of the EPSRC Network of Excellence in Video, Vision and Graphics.
