The Visual Computing Lab researches and develops IT tools based on computer vision, artificial intelligence and +geometry processing of 3D data aimed at the ecological analysis of visual data. + +This research activity led to the development of the AI-powered open-source software for analysing coral reefs TagLab. TagLab combines advanced automatic recognition +and measurement tools in a friendly graphical user interface to efficiently study demographic changes, spatial dynamics, and the health of coral reef communities +by leveraging visual data. By reducing the time required for ecological post-processing of coral reef images, TagLab allows researchers to process increasingly +larger volumes of data without increasing the time needed for the person and ultimately facilitates a greater ability to understand and predict changes futures in +coral reef ecosystems. + +Taglab has been adopted by many marine science research institutions, including the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California, San Diego), +the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), and the Marine Science Institute (University of California, Santa Barbara). + +Thanks to our experience and expertise in this field, we are involved in many research projects such as the National Research Program in Antartide (PNRA2018), +the PRIN EUPHROSYNE, and the 2023-2025 joint research collaborations funded by [MAECI](https://www.esteri.it/en). + +Selected papers: + +- [Field-aligned mesh joinery](/publication/2014/CPMS14) +- [Elastic textures for additive fabrication](/publication/2015/PZMPCZ15) +- [FlexMolds: automatic design of flexible shells for molding](/publication/2016/MPBC16) +- [FlexMaps: Computational Design of Flat Flexible Shells for Shaping 3D Objects](/publication/2018/MPIPMCB18) +- [Volume-aware design of flexible molds](/publication/2019/AMGBCP19) +- [Optimizing Object Decomposition to Reduce Visual Artifacts in 3D Printing](/publication/2020/FAGMCC20) + + + diff --git a/content/research/environment-monitoring/featured.jpg b/content/research/environment-monitoring/featured.jpg index 5b561a5554..99469e185c 100644 Binary files a/content/research/environment-monitoring/featured.jpg and b/content/research/environment-monitoring/featured.jpg differ diff --git a/content/research/environment-monitoring/index.md b/content/research/environment-monitoring/index.md index 8b2f5cc03f..e7a5fc4d57 100644 --- a/content/research/environment-monitoring/index.md +++ b/content/research/environment-monitoring/index.md @@ -1,11 +1,9 @@ ---- -title: "Environment Monitoring" -authors: ["massimiliano-corsini","gaia-pavoni"] -show_date: false -#date: 2022 -image: - focal_point: 'top' ---- - -Our activity on Geometry Processing includes methodologies for shape analysis and characterization, mesh parametrization and its applications.
