TRIOSLib Learning image operators
    Designing image operators to perform an image processing task often requires specific knowledge and practical experience in the field. Achieving satisfactory results may require considerable trial and error effort. The main question under investigation in this project is how to learn an image transformation from samples of input-output image pairs.

SegmentIt Image segmentation
    Segmentation of images may be effectively accomplished through user interaction. Developing new algorithms and easy interaction ways to reduce the required interaction effort is one of the main goals of this project.

    SegmentIt is an Interactive Image Segmentation Tool written in Java, developed by B. Klava, that allows handling image partition hierarchies as well as markers.
