We are a relatively large group with five permanent academic members of staff (Profs. Boyle and Hogg; Drs. Bulpitt, Magee, and Ng). We jointly have experience in many areas of computer vision, but specialise in the analysis of motion and image segmentation, with application to CCTV surveillance, sport science, medical imaging, bioinformatics, and multimedia (especially dance and music). The group pioneered research on model-based tracking and the application of statistical learning in behaviour analysis. We have recently begun to explore a wider role of vision within intelligent systems - leading to prize winning work on the integration of visual learning with logical induction. A state-of-the-art real-time tracker developed by Magee has been widely used outside Leeds, and is available for commercial licensing. We have a long track-record in contract research and consultancyfor industry, involving both multinational companies and SMEs.
