The Lab
The Image Processing Lab (IPL) is located at FEI, in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The IPL was created in 2006 following funding from the State of Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the National Research Councils CNPq and CAPES. Our main research interests are in
Statistical Pattern Recognition
Medical Image Computing
Biometrics
Machine Learning
