Mission
|
The Center for Visual Computing was
established to advance visual computing
studies at SUNY Stony Brook, to promote
research and education in Visual Computing, to
attract major federal and state funding, to
motivate industry to collaborate with the
Computer Science department, and to foster
interdisciplinary interaction. Visual
computing research activities include:
visualization, computer graphics, image
processing, medical imaging, virtual reality,
user interfaces, computer-supported
collaborative work, computer-aided design,
multimedia, and computational geometry.

Details
|
Among the projects are:
-
CUBE, an architecture for volume
visualization hardware,
-
VolVis, a volume oriented tool for
rendering images,
-
Virtual Colonoscopy, a tool which
enables the user to take data from a CT
scan and use it for a virtual ride
through a patients colon.
The Center for Visual Computing is a
collection of labs under an organizational
umbrella: Visualization Lab, Multimedia
Lab, Virtual Reality Lab, Graphics Hardware
Lab, Experimental Computer Systems Lab,
Image Analysis Lab, Emedia Art Lab, Medical
Image Processing lab.
The target platforms for research in the
lab are: PC's, SGI, SUN and Apple.
Typically each graduate student can expect
to have access to a (more or less) personal
system and access to other interesting
hardware.
