Vision and Learning Group

West Virginia University
We investigate new and fundamental problems and applications in computer vision research. We develop novel techniques for endowing machines with high-level visual processing capabilities, much like humans use their visual system for action. We do so by deriving new machine learning and computational tools that account for the physics, semantics, and dynamics of the visual world. The outcome of this research is applicable to areas such as image and video analysis and reasoning, video surveillance, multimedia applications, medical and biomedical imaging applications, biometrics, autonomous navigation, robotics, and many others.

Research Highlights

Video Understanding

Activity Recognition

Providing a semantic interpretation of the actions and interactions between the actors in a scene enables behavior analysis for automated decision-making. This is still a challenging problem, especially when performed online.

Out-of-Distribution Learning

Out-of-Distribution Learning

Out-of-Distribution learning is concerned with developing methods where the distribution of the data processed at test time may be different from the distribution of the data used during the training of a model.

Immersive Analytics

Immersive Analytics

Recent advanecs in augmented, mixed, and virtual reality, coupled with the need to perform analysis and decision-making on large-scale collections of volumetric images stimulate the research in immersive analytics.
