Computer Vision Lab | Research

CVL Research 2002

Our group, consisting of thirty graduate students from three different departments of the University of Tokyo and other universities, four full-time researchers, as well as several visiting scientists and supporting staff members, forms a unique interdisciplinary computer vision research center. Our annual research budget approaches approximately 1M U.S. dollars per year. As shown in the figure below, our research field spans areas ranging from fundamental vision theories through applications that include virtual reality, robotics, and intelligent transportation systems. The core paradigm among these areas is how to reduce the amount of cost in programming and monitoring through computer vision techniques. In each area, current research topics are as follows:

Physics-based vision theories for modeling object appearances and illumination environments;

Modeling cultural heritage objects through observation for virtual reality applications;

Imitation learning of human behaviors, including traditional Japanese tea ceremony and Japanese folk dance, through observation for robot programming;

Recognition and classification of vehicles for ITS applications, and 3D modelling of real exterior environments by merging photo- and geometric images.

Papers of research done of our laboratory are available here.
