Introduction of the Research Group
The Applied Optics research group deals with electromagnetic radiation emission, transmission, reflection and imaging in the 0.2-14 micrometer spectral range. We simulate, design, develop and construct optical equipment and devices and analyze the functioning and application of optical devices in machine and human vision tasks. We calibrate optical systems and also work with spectral and colorimetric measurements. Main research areas of the group: optical transfer function measurement, camera calibration, image processing, illumination and near-field photometry, colorimetry and color vision, chromatic adaptation, human visual electrophysiology (instruments and signal processing), space optics, spectral measurements.
Achievements
- Calibration of the DAWN space cameras- Optical measurement of nuclear reactor safety mechanism
- End-of-line robotic verification with multiple optical sensors
- UAV detection in LWIR/VIS
- Development of tests and filters for color deficiency
