The Visual Media Computing at Cyprus University of Technology (VMC@CUT) Research Lab carries out research in the area of digital image processing, computer vision and computer graphics with emphasis on the development of 2D and 3D algorithms suitable for coding, interpretation, visualization and restoration of image objects that undergo appearance variations. Currently research activities in the lab are centred on the following areas.
- Biometrics with emphasis on age invariant face image interpretation and age progression.
- 3D reconstruction, visualization and virtual restoration of cultural heritage artefacts.
- Non invasive multi-modal human computer interaction.
- Virtual Reality applications
The lab was first established in 2007 with the name "Image Processing and Synthesis Research Lab". The initial set up of the lab was supported by a Cyprus University of Technology Start Up Research Grant awarded to the Lab Coordinator. In 2013 the lab was renamed to "Visual Media Computing at Cyprus University of Technology Research Lab". Since its creation, members of the Lab participated in seven externally funded projects, among which four are currently running. These projects involve cooperation with local and international partners both from academia and industry.
