Computer Vision

Computer Vision allows machines to exploit cameras to acquire information about the environment in which they operate. Typical uses range from industrial systems to robotics and medical appliances, with recent applications to the field of Human-Computer Interaction.

Marco Porta has worked on the development of computer vision techniques for the assessment of distances in monocular vision, vanishing point detection in perspective images, autonomous navigation of vehicles, and multi-resolution representations of images. In Vision-Based Perceptive Interfaces, computer vision problems are related to the observation of users, their actions, and the environment surrounding them.
