Welcome to the Computational Imaging and Visual Intelligence Laboratory (CIVIL)!

Research Overview

The Computational Imaging and Visual Intelligence Laboratory (CIVIL) investigates artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) for imaging science and vision science. 

Our current projects include:

1. Deep generative model-based virtual population for conducting in-silico analysis of medical imaging systems and assisting image-based medical decision making.

2. Machine learning-based numerical observers for calculating task-based measures of image quality.

3. Visual search and biologically plausible computer vision.

4. Deep learning for task-driven computational imaging.

Research in CIVIL is conducted within the Wyant College of Optical Sciences and Department of Medical Imaging at University of Arizona.
