Research topics

  • Digital image processing and analysis (H. S. Stiehl)
  • Interactive exploration of digitized documents (iXMan_Lab)

Image Processing is a longstanding research (and development) field devoted to theory, methodology, experimentation, and practice of computer-supported processing and analysis of digital-born images (e.g. from CAT or MRI scans) and digitized documents (e.g. historical manuscripts).

Key issues are e.g. modelling of 2D/3D signal structure, image quality enhancement (e.g. noise reduction or contrast enhancement), detection and representation of visual structure (e.g. edges, contours, junctions and regions), object classification, experimental performance characterization, as well as design and realization of working systems aiming at e.g. workflow support for interdiscipinary manuscript research in the Digital Humanities (see iXMan_Lab).
