IVAThe Image and Video Analysis (IVA) group is a research group within IVML Laboratory at National Technical University of Athens. It was brought together by Dr Yannis Avrithis with the aim of exploring basic research and applications at the intersection of visual analysis and semantic interpretation. It employs image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition techniques to analyze and interprete static and moving images (video).
The group studies and develops methods for spatial and spatiotemporal visual representation, segmentation and description, salient region detection, object recognition and tracking, action recognition in video, scene classification, image/video indexing, retrieval and summarization. These techniques are also adopted or extended in order to incorporate domain knowledge, visual context and information from other modalities (text, audio) in the analysis process.
Applications include web image/video search, exploration of news video, organization of personal and community photo collections, visual surveillance, industrial visual inspection, and indexing of image/video archives and repositories (commercial, cultural, entertainment, geographic, medical, judicial, historic).
