AboutAbout the lab
Teaching computers to understand images
The Image Analysis Lab studies computer vision, image recognition, deep learning, and related topics.
The lab's website introduces research on understanding images of tables, object detection, video super-resolution, visual localization, anomaly detection, and more.
The lab also conducts research on multimodal AI, which handles images and text together.
The lab belongs to the Intelligent Robotics Division of the Department of System Information Sciences, Graduate School of Information Sciences.
Key terms
- Computer vision
- A research field that aims to make computers see and understand images and video
- Object detection
- A technology that finds objects appearing in an image and classifies what they are
- Self-supervised learning
- A method of learning features from large amounts of unlabeled image data
- Multimodal AI
- AI that handles multiple types of information together, such as images and natural language
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies computer vision, image recognition, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and more. Its website introduces research on understanding images of tables, object detection, video super-resolution, visual localization, and other topics.
*Illustrative imageTeaching AI to understand images of tables
This research aims to have AI understand tables from images, such as the tables used in papers, corporate documents, and financial reports. Tables pasted into PDFs or slides are not simply strings of characters to an AI. The lab takes an approach based on code-generation reasoning.
*Illustrative imageSelf-supervised learning for object detection
This research applies self-supervised learning, which learns features from large amounts of unlabeled images, to object detection. The lab works on methods that learn features combining image content and positional information.
*Illustrative imageProblem settings for detecting unknown objects
In real-world applications, systems often encounter objects of unknown classes that they did not see during training. From the perspective of who decides what should be detected, the lab addresses the challenges in this field and new problem settings.
*Illustrative imageLandslide image analysis and disaster risk assessment
This research uses multimodal AI to analyze images of landslides and assess disaster risk. Because the terrain changes greatly after a landslide occurs, rapid and advanced understanding of the situation is required.
