Computer Vision is the study of inferring properties of the world based on one or more digital images. Since visual perception is one of the key modules of human intelligence, a better understanding of vision principles can yield advances in diverse areas including the entertainment industry and national security. Kitware has extensive expertise developing robust solutions for real-world data and is actively working with industry and government agencies on a variety of vision-based projects.
The group is a rapidly growing, energetic team of PhD’s and software engineers in computer vision. Founded in 2007, the group has won fifteen contracts in video event and activity recognition, moving object detection and tracking, motion pattern learning and anomaly detection, functional object recognition, video compression, 3D reconstruction and other areas. We have active subcontracts and collaborations with ten universities that have internationally-recognized computer vision faculty. Our largest effort is Video and Imagery Retrieval and Analysis Toolkit (VIRAT), a DARPA contract where we are leading a team of two large defense contractors and seven universities.
