I&M Research Team Website

The I&M (Images & Models) is a research team within the Laboratoire d’Informatique et Systèmes (LIS UMR 7020 – Aix-Marseille University, CNRS), whose research activities aim at extracting knowledge and decision support from image data. These activities are thus turned towards :

• Diagnostic assistance
• Preoperative planning
• Behavioral analysis
• Morphometry
• Information systems

The methodological fields addressed to achieve these objectives are :

• Computer vision and photogrammetry techniques.
• Pattern recognition, based on the extraction of local and global descriptors and the use of partitioning (clustering) and learning techniques.
• 3D geometric shape analysis, in particular in terms of description and characterization, representation, metrics and similarities, parametrization, and surface registration.

Finally, the techniques and tools used can be categorized into :

• Low-level techniques such as filtering, segmentation, registration.
• Processing of data structured in graphs: graph matching, processing of data defined on meshes.
• Classification, in the broadest sense.
