Image Analysis
Image analysis is the extraction of meaningful information from images; mainly from digital images by means of digital image processing techniques. Image analysis tasks can be as simple as reading bar coded tags or as sophisticated as identifying a person from their face. Our expertise in the field of image analysis covers the following subjects.
- Computer Vision. A computer vision system measures, inspects or surveys objects or processes, and consists basically of a video camera connected to a computer.
- Image Processing. Image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as photographs or frames of video; the output of image processing can be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.
- Pattern Recognition. Pattern recognition is used to analyse recurring patterns in data with the aim to detect, understand or classify the pattern.
- 3D Measurements and Analysis. SINTEF develops advanced, optical systems for the acquisition of 3D data as well as sophisticated methods and algorithms for 3D analysis.
