<p><span lang="EN-US">The department focuses on activities
related to the analysis and understanding of images and
patterns in general, thus representing a reference for the
other IIT Departments and labs which have to deal with such
kind of data. </span>The PAVIS staff has a wide expertise
on image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition,
machine learning, and related applications. Actually, the
research in PAVIS is devoted to study and to build intelligent
systems for real applications, especially related, but not
limited, to surveillance & security, biomedical imaging,
and bioinformatics. One of the primary goals is to design and
develop innovative video surveillance systems, characterized
by the use of highly-functional smart sensors and advanced
video analytics features. To this end, PAVIS performs cutting
edge research in computer vision and pattern recognition, but
also in biometrics, multimodal data and sensor fusion, sensors
networks, and embedded computer vision.</p>
<p>Further, another target of the lab is to explore novel
strategies in biomedical image analysis and bioinformatics,
due to the versatility of the techniques it can manage.</p>
