The group of Image Processing, Computer Vision and Parallel Architectures is active in the Computer and Systems Engineering Department of the University of Pavia since the early 70s. The initial research activities of the group concentrated on the techniques of image enhancement and restoration, with particular regard for medical imagery. Later on, the main efforts have been devoted to more advanced image processing functions, involving scene segmentation and shape characterization; a broad background has been acquired on low level and intermediate level vision tasks involving grey level statistics and structural descriptions. From the early 80s a new stream of research has been actively followed in the field of parallel architectures for vision and image processing. The group has meanwhile developed skills in high level image processing domains, such as the management of knowledge description and of learning capabilities for vision tasks. New research areas are now activated on 3D Vision, Human-Computer Interaction, Visual Languages, Image Synthesis, Multimedia and E-learning.
