IMAGO Research Group

The IMAGO Research Group was founded in 1996 and accumulated great expertise in range image analysis during its existence. The group has been working on projects related to computer vision, image processing and computer graphics in order to produce solutions for different areas, such as culture, education, social inclusion, health and security. The efforts of the group are currently focused on digital preservation and biometric recognition, in which there are three main ongoing projects: 3D Virtual Museum, 3D Face Recognition and Newborn Identification. These projects have virtual reality and 3D interaction features beyond the HCI requirements, that provides motivation in the use of our systems.
