Collaborations

University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, Canada

Within the collaboration, with Prof. Mahdi S. Hosseini, the research activities focused on the design and realization of innovative pattern recognition methods and algorithms based on image processing and artificial intelligence, with focus on biomedical applications. In particular, the research focused on original methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks and transfer learning for the analysis of histopathological images, with the purpose of highly accurate tissue classification and tumor detection.

STMicroelectronics, Catania, Italy

Within the collaboration, with Dr. Francesco Rundo, the research activities focused on the study and realization of innovative pattern recognition approaches based on signal and image processing and on artificial intelligence techniques, with a specific focus on autonomous driving applications. In this context, the research focused on original Deep Learning methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks for the semantic segmentation of images captured by a vehicle-mounted camera, and subsequently for the estimation of the distance of objects in the scene without requiring additional sensors.

Università degli Studi di Siena, Italy

Within the collaboration, with the Visual Information Processing and Protection Group, directed by Prof. Mauro Barni, the research activities focused on the study and realization of innovative pattern recognition algorithms based on signal processing and artificial intelligence, in particular for biometric applications. In this context, the research included the study of original image processing methodologies for iris images based on biometric techniques for feature extraction and identity comparison, and on artificial intelligence models based on Deep Learning and Generative Adversarial Networks. The realized method enabled to perform the biometric anonymization of the iris in high-resolution images collected from the internet, while guaranteeing a high visual realism of the anonymized images.
