The Image Processing and Understanding (IPU) Research Team focuses on advancing the field of computer vision by developing innovative techniques for analyzing and interpreting visual data. Our work spans a wide range of applications, from fundamental research in image enhancement and object recognition to applied solutions in medical imaging, industrial automation, and intelligent surveillance.

We specialize in cutting-edge methods such as deep learning-based vision models, multi-modal data fusion, and explainable AI for image analysis. By integrating state-of-the-art algorithms with real-world datasets, we aim to push the boundaries of automated image understanding and make visual intelligence more accessible and impactful.

Collaboration is at the heart of our research. We work closely with academic institutions, industry partners, and governmental organizations to translate our findings into practical solutions.
