Computer Vision and Image Processing Lab (CVIP Lab)
Under the guidance of Dr. Scott E Umbaugh
The Computer Vision and Image Processing Laboratory (CVIP Lab) is a state-of-the-art facility with 13 workstations as well as an LCD projector, scanners, cameras and controlled lighting image digitizing stations.A major research tool of the CVIP Lab is CVIPtools, a program with over 20 years of development history and thousands of users around the world. It offers the experienced and new user alike the opportunity to experiment with computer imaging in an easy-to-use GUI-based environment.
Active research contributes to the excellence of the CVIPtools program, which is under continuing development at SIUE.
