Thomas Papathomas, Associate Director
The Laboratory of Vision Research (LVR) has three major objectives: to
conduct advanced interdisciplinary research in vision, to establish
undergraduate and graduate courses in visual perception and related
areas, and to serve as a consulting body to New Jersey and national
institutions. Research is focused on early vision, such as texture,
stereoscopic depth, and motion perception and some higher processing
states, such as the role of focal attention in visual tasks. Practical
applications of research conducted in the laboratory include the
diagnosis and prevention of stereo blindness, invention of new ways to
match large databases to the heuristics of the human observer, and the
development of image-compression techniques based on the properties of
the human visual system.
