Visual and High Performance Computing Science and Technologies
The Visual and High Performance Computing (VHPC) Area is a collaborative effort between the Visual Computing Lab, the Signals and Images Lab and the High Performance Computing Lab at ISTI aiming at improving interdisciplinary research and group partnerships in the fields of graphics, vision and parallel and distributed processing.Emerging technologies in areas such as artificial vision, 3D scanning, scene modelling and understanding, visualization, large-scale data management, analysis and search are developing at extraordinary rates. The old inter-disciplinary boundaries between computer graphics, computer vision and image processing nowadays become a fuzzy frontier, with an increasing overlap, mutual cross-fertilization and interconnection. Moreover, the increasing amount of data produced daily by the information society and the quest for real time processing make the design/adoption of high performance solutions a pressing demand.
The ability of defining models and methodologies that integrate aspects of multidimensional data/image analysis and synthesis, and provide scalable and efficient processing solutions is becoming more and more an attractive and innovative R&D area, characterized by the huge variety of its potential applicability in both our daily life and several sectors of scientific, technological and industrial interest.
VHPC is designed to bring together computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists and engineers to share their specific knowledge and experience in order to give birth to an innovation tank.
