ARoundVision: All aRound panoramic Vision for smart and secure environments

This is a joint project of IT and Critical Software which aims to investigate new coding and processing methods for panoramic visual information, captured with 360-degree field-of-view (FoV) and ultra-high definition, i.e. All-aRound Vision (ARoundVision). The project investigates fast computational methods to obtain high compression efficiency with low computational complexity, relying on ...

Making the web (really) world wide

A research team from IT in Aveiro has developed a photonic processor that should allow accessing the internet even in the most remote areas of the planet. Bringing the Internet to half the world's population excluded from the global network is the main goal of the paper recently published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.

"The work presented at Nature Communications was the ...

PlenoISLA: Plenoptic Imaging for Skin Lesion Assessment

Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that arises when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) mutate and become cancerous. According to American Cancer Society, across all stages of melanoma, the average five-year survival rate in the U.S. is 92 percent. The estimated five-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma is detected early is about 98 percent. The survival rate falls to 64 percent when ...
