Data Visualization
Data visualisation and information visualisation use visual representations of abstract and real data to help impart better understanding and analysis of that data. Very large data sets are becoming more and more available and research into data visualisation is growing in importance.
Projects
-
3D feature extraction and matching
Feature extraction and matching is a traditional method for shape matching and analysis.
-
Advanced Medical Imaging and Visualization Unit
The unit work with projects where imaging and visualization technologies can provide added value to medical applications.
-
Biological sensor data
The group created novel data visualization and data analysis approaches for accelerometry data from animal behaviour data tags.
-
Efficient 3D shape matching and retrieval
This project attempts to develop efficient techniques for the representation and matching of 3D shapes.
-
Facial aging simulation and visualization
Facial Aging Progression Simulation
-
Image manifolds as a way of representing the appearance of objects
Images of objects (such as a rotating teapot, views from a camera mounted on a robot, an actor illuminated from different positions on a hemisphere, etc.)
-
Modelling the Change in 3D Head Dynamics and Appearance
The development of 3D (and also 2D) statistical models of facial dynamics with applications to medical/dental, computer graphics, animation and computer vision.
-
Noise removal and image enhancement
The captured either 2D or 3D data are usually unavoidably corrupted by imaging noise.
-
Ray Tracing and Global Illumination
Ray tracing is a significant field of computer graphics used for rendering highly realistic imagery for computer animated films, scientific data visualization, architectural and engineering designs.
-
Saliency detection for 3D surface reconstruction, segmentation and simplification
While the laser scanning systems usually have limited field of view, the captured data from a single viewpoint can only cover a part of the area of interest.
-
Sports Visualization Video
Technology is playing an ever-increasing role within sports, including the ability to collect substantial amounts of video data on player performance both in training and live-match scenarios.
-
Visualizing Image Statistics
Natural image statistics is an important area of research in cognitive sciences and computer vision.
