Important Notice about Internships
If you are interested in coming to do research with us as an intern, please read this first.Graphics and Vision at Otago
Welcome to the Graphics and Vision Research Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Otago. The laboratory was formed in 1986, and today consists of 3 academic staff and several postgraduate students, as well as the occasional visitor.
Our research is varied, but most of it falls somewhere in the broad fields of computer graphics, vision, and image processing. Mostly we're doing stuff that is interesting and fun, since we believe that makes the lab an interesting and fun place to be. You can find out more technical details from our publications.
If you are interested in what we do and want to get involved, look at the ways in which you can join the lab, or get in touch with one of the academic staff.
