Center for Computer Vision and Visualization (CCVV)

Scope

The University of Florida's CCVV was established to serves two main purposes: Faculty participation within the Center is interdisciplinary. The Center provides a structure and focus for the interaction of U.F. faculty and technical visitors from industry, government facilities, and foreign and domestic institutes.

The Center has been the site for several workshops for representatives from business, the U.S. Government, and foreign governments (United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia).

Philosophy

The CCVV focuses on computer vision and visualization including key disciplines that support these areas.

Computer vision provides the analysis of real-world image data, whereas visualization synthetically produces images based on dynamic models created from real-world data; therefore these two disciplines are complementary aspects of visually oriented scientific study.

There are also core areas that support both vision and visualization. For instance, image algebra and pattern recognition methods are tools for image processing and image understanding; physically based modeling is a dynamical tool used to reconstruct objects from image data. Computer simulations, computer graphics, and dynamical systems theory support an understanding of the world through synthetic means, and visualization of their analysis output aid us in better understanding real-world behavior.
