Computer Vision and Image Processing Research Lab (CVIP Lab)
Under the guidance of Dr. Robert LeAnder and Dr. Scott Umbaugh
The CVIP Research Lab is equipped with state of the art workstations and associated development software for application and algorithm research and development. A major research tool of the CVIP Lab is CVIPtools, a program with over 25 years of development history and thousands of users around the world. It offers experienced and new users 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.
