The research in the DI centre also involves fields related to digital agriculture, cultural heritage, and geomatics.

The Technologies of Vision (TeV) research laboratory conducts research in the fields of Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Robotic Perception. TeV focuses on developing techniques for 2D and 3D scene understanding, including classification, detection, segmentation, tracking, foundation models, large multimodal models, and neural rendering. Its research has applications in various domains:

• Industry: Scene analysis for quality control, robotic manipulation, and navigation.
• Agriculture: Drone imaging, 3D reconstruction, and segmentation.
• Sports: Ball and player tracking.
• Security: Document analysis and verification.
• Agents: Visual language assistants and visual speech recognition.

More information about the TeV lab is available at https://tev.fbk.eu.

FBK actively seeks diversity and inclusion in the workplace and is also committed to promoting gender equality.
