Introduction

The group is primarily aimed at catalysing research and teaching activities on the many aspects of natural and artificial vision through the collaboration of research groups acting on related areas at the IFSC-USP and other Brazilian and, eventually, international centres.

Research areas:

1. Natural and artificial vision;
2. Neuroscience;
3. New techniques for computer vision and image processing;
4. Concurrent computer architectures for vision and image processing;
5. Neural networks;
6. Computational and mathematical modelling and simulation of biological visual systems;
7. Applications of biologically inspired computer vision techniques;
8. Neurophysiological research;
9. Development of equipment and instrumentation for neuroscience;
10. Performance assessment of computer vision and image processing techniques.
11. Researchers interested in collaborating with the Cybernetic Vision Group should send the following data:

name, position, e-mail coordinates and references to some of your latest representative publications in the area.

Some of the activities we intend to implement are listed below:

• (i) - Implementation of an image database with copyright-free material for assessment and benchmarking of computer vision and image processing techniques;
• (ii) - Creation of the "Cybernetic Vision" electronic journal to make full use of network and computational facilities for manuscript assessment and delivery. Group members are encouraged to participate with submissions and/or by acting as referees;
• (iv) - Establish an anonymous ftp area containing information about the group activities and related material such as:
• - list of members and respective interest fields;
• - list of related publications;
• - ASCII and/or Latex versions of papers published by group members;
• - list of related bibliographical references;
• - summaries of ongoing projects;
• - programs and applicatives;
• - list of graduate and post-graduate related courses and students.
