Computer Vision and Image Processing Lab

Under the guidance of Dr. Scott E Umbaugh

The Computer Vision and Image Processing Laboratory (CVIP Lab) is a state-of-the-art facility which has 13 workstations, SUN Ultra SPARCstations, as well as an LCD projector, scanners, cameras and controlled lighting image digitizing stations.

A major research tool of the CVIP Lab is CVIPtools, a 350,000+ line program that offers the experienced and new user alike the opportunity to experiment with computer imaging in an easy-to-use GUI-based environment. Active research contributes to the excellence of the CVIPtools program, which is under continuing development at SIUE.

Research and development in the CVIP Lab:

  • CVIPtools development
  • Color image segmentation algorithm development
  • Wavelet/vector quantization compression
  • Deformable templates applied to skin tumor border finding
  • Helicopter image enhancement
  • High-speed film image enhancement
  • Computer vision for skin tumor image evaluation
  • New Border Images
Research funded by Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, the National Institutes of Health, Camber Corporation, System Dynamics International, Stoecker & Associates, Stealth Technologies, the Department of Defense, Westar Corporation.
