The LAPIX Lab is dedicated to R&D on new technologies for image processing, analysis and visualization, immersive collaboration and interactive digital TV. LAPIX is a laboratory associated with the INCoD (INCT for Digital Convergence). It is located in the Department of Computer Science and Statistics – INE – of the Technology Center – CTC – of the Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC. This laboratory is the result of research started by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Aldo von Wangenheim in Image Processing in 1997, at UFSC. The laboratory is composed of professors, researchers, PhDs, Masters, graduates, and undergraduates.
LAPIX main research areas are
- Image processing and visualization applied to areas such as medicine, meteorology, security, sports, traffic monitoring, among others;
- New methods for intelligent analysis and interpretation of images;
- Human-computer interaction models;
- Advanced concepts of interactivity in medical imaging;
- Virtual radiological diagnosis environments and visualization engines;
- Innovative 3D and 4D data structures for better representation and visualization of anatomical structures;
- Modeling of the mechanical behavior of organic tissues;
- Physical simulation of fluids.
LAPIX is structured in three main research groups:
- Image processing and computer vision;
- Computer graphics; image visualization and simulation; and
- Interactive Digital TV.
One of the main focuses of LAPIX is through partnerships with companies, universities and research institutes, to develop innovative software solutions that demand state-of-the-art technologies in the areas of image processing, computer graphics and interactive digital TV.
