We are interested in the development of models and algorithms for image processing and computer vision. Our main lines of work are focused in:

3D reconstruction and view synthesis for sport events and 3D Television and cinema

• Depth computation and 3D reconstruction, shape from silhouette, new view synthesis, inpainting methods for new view synthesis, processing of data for 3D Television.

Development of tools for digital video post-production

• Image and video denoising, super-resolution, video editing, image and video inpainting, segmentation, tracking, motion estimation, de-interlacing, video format conversion, film post-production algorithms, level lines selection for segmentation, compression and coding.

Object identification including logo detection

• Affine invariant object recognition, logo detection.

Color image processing and digital photography

• Image fusion, perceptual-based color enhancement, tone mapping, HDR imaging techniques.

Variational models for image processing and computer vision

• Development of numerical methods and optimization methods for optical flow and depth computation and its GPU implementation.

Applied Mathematics: geometric partial differential equations

• Flux limited diffusion equations, interface motion by curvature and variational principles for transport and irrigation networks.
