Our profile

The Institute of Imaging & Computer Vision (Lehrstuhl für Bildverarbeitung, LfB) is part of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, RWTH Aachen University. Our research and teaching activities cover the whole range of image acquisition, image processing and visualization.

Our main research activities cover:

• Image analysis, computer vision, and visualization of imaging data
• Deep/Machine Learning methods: Developing deep learning models (e.g., CNNs, GANs) for feature extraction and pattern recognition, researching novel techniques in feature engineering and representation learning, and applying machine learning algorithms (supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised) for image and signal processing. Utilizing transfer learning and optimization for real-world applications.
• Multidimensional and multimodal signal and image processing
• Medical image instrumentation, acquisition and processing, particularly Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Particle Imaging, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
• Biological and pathological image processing
• Industrial image processing
