Center for Vision, Graphics and Medical Imaging(CVGMI)
Center for Vision, Graphics, and Medical Imaging (CVGMI) at the University of Florida serves two main purposes:
- To promote basic and applied research in Computer Vision, Vision-Graphics and Medical Image Analysis.
- To provide a research environment for faculty and graduate students with research interests in the aforementioned areas.
Faculty from various Departments are involved in this Center and the Center facilitates their interaction with each other, domestic and international visitors from Universities and industry. The Center has been the site for several workshops for representatives from other Univesities, business, the U.S. Government, and foreign governments (United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia).
Director: Baba C. Vemuri, Ph.D.
Database Systems Research & Development Center
The Database Research Lab is home to six faculty members and their students from the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering. Research by the group members focuses on solving complex problems in the area of data and information management and on applying such techniques to new applications including bioinformatics, e-learning, RFID middleware, and sensor networks.
Mobile and Pervasive Computing Laboratory
The Mobile and Pervasive Computing Laboratory was established in March of 2000 through a donation from Harris Corporation. Mobile and pervasive computing at the University of Florida means exciting research, cutting-edge technology innovation, and solid educational training. Professor Helal is directing several research projects in the areas of Mobile and Pervasive Computing. Most of the projects are human-centered addressing quality of life issues and benefiting different user groups including individual with special needs and the growing elderly population around the world.
Director: Sumi Helal, Ph.D.
Computational Science and Intelligence Lab
The Computational Science and Intelligence Lab focuses on machine learning, pattern recognition, signal processing, information fusion and related areas. The lab is involved with several projects including many focusing on landmine detection using a variety of sensors in a range of modalities. Sensor data that is used includes ground-penetrating radar, hyperspectral imagery, metal detector response, sythentic apeture radar, infrared, and acoustic data.
Director: Paul Gader, Ph.D.
