IMaLeVICS: New VIPLab project

Interpretable Machine Learning for Vision, Imaging, and Color Sciences

The objective of IMaLeVICS is to use interpretable machine learning methods to address various issues related to vision, imaging, and color sciences. We have two goals. Firstly, we aim to obtain systems that can solve specific problems in each of these fields. Secondly, we aim to analyze what these systems have learned to interpret the knowledge extracted from the data and determine whether this knowledge can be incorporated into current scientific models that address the corresponding problems.

VISUAL IMAGE PROCESSING LABORATORY

A research project on computational vision science

The main objective of the interdisciplinary group that makes up VIP Lab (Visual Image Processing Laboratory) is to contribute to a better understanding of how digital images are perceived by the human visual system. To begin, contributing with data from psychophysics on how images are perceived by the visual system, secondly, addressing how to represent this new knowledge with computational models, to finish using these models to approach the improvement/optimization of the visual quality in different applications and image processing tasks.

Recent availability of image capturing and displaying devices in increasing image importance for both home and scientific use. Particularly important is image perceptual quality, a matter on which an intensive active research is being carried out in many centers around the globe. The VIP Lab project is devoted to develop research on image perception and, in the long term, establish a reference research center in the matter.

The research group consists of professionals that combine experience in vision science, color science, image processing, psychophysics, and mathematical modeling.
