Computer Science Department's Computer Vision Lab

The Computer Vision Lab is managed by Dr. Yong Zhang. Here, they study and do research in image processing and Biometrics. These topics include:

  • Facial Recognition
  • Gait
  • Medical Image Processing
  • Elastography
  • Optical Flow and Strain images
  • HD vs. Regular image processing
  • Image Database Processing in respect to these topics.
The research in the lab is not limited to these topics, any interesting domain can and will be studied.

Recently, the lab has been given an upgrades in hardware and software:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional
  • Dell Precision Workstation 360
  • Intel Pentium 4 (3.00 Ghz [2 CPUs])
  • 1022 MB RAM
  • NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000 128 MB Graphics Card
  • Dell 1704FPT Digital Monitors
  • Creative SB Audigy Audio Sound Card
  • 4 PCs in lab, (one of those four equipped with dual monitors)
  • Camera: Canon XL1s
  • Over 2 TB* of storage space

Software Used:

  • Cygwin
  • Colorado State University Face Recognition Software
  • IrfanView
  • Image merging software developed by Shaun Canavan and Dr. Zhang (no name for software)
