Computer Vision & Visual Diagnostics Lab

From pixels to decision.

AI-driven visual analytics, automated quality inspection, and defect & surface segmentation for research and industry.

99.4% Defect accuracy
20–100× Fewer training images

Few-shot deployment reaches a new line on as few as 10 annotated images, where a conventional pipeline needs thousands. Method and evaluation in our publications.

01 Capabilities

What we do

Six research lines, all pointed at the same problem: turning raw industrial imagery into a decision an engineer can act on.

Flagship

Automated quality inspection

Defect detection, anomaly spotting, and real-time quality assurance pipelines for high-throughput manufacturing — built to hold accuracy at line speed, to say clearly when they are uncertain, and to reach a new line on minimal annotated data.

Digital twins for built assets

Survey and sensor data turned into maintained digital models of real structures — and of how their condition changes over time.

Spatial measurement & 3D reconstruction

High-precision 3D reconstruction, point-cloud analysis, and metrology for complex structural environments.

Computational imaging

Single-pixel imaging, compressive sensing, and learned image reconstruction — recovering a usable image before anything has to interpret it.

Defect segmentation architectures

Attention-refined feature pyramids, adversarial and probabilistic models — for defects that are thin, faint, or genuinely ambiguous.

Structural health monitoring

Damage detection and condition assessment across composites, concrete, and ageing infrastructure.

02 Application areas

Where the work applies

The same perception stack, tuned to the failure modes and tolerances each sector actually cares about.

Something you need to see, measure, or decide?

Inspection is where most people find us, but the work is broader: reconstructing a surface, recovering an image the sensor barely caught, tracking how an asset changes. If it can be imaged, it can be measured — and we take on the ones without an off-the-shelf answer.
