IAL: Laboratories

Articulated Motion Laboratory, The Articulated Motion laboratory supports research activities in the simulation, analysis, design, and control of articulated motion generated by either biological or robotic systems. The emphasis is on the class of articulated systems that are kinematically redundant, and therefore capable of highly complex and dexterous motions. Distributed Multimedia Systems Laboratory, Electronic Imaging Systems Laboratory, The Electronic Imaging Systems Laboratory enables research activities in the areas of image capture, image rendering, and document processing. The laboratory is equipped with high-resolution and large format printers, high-precision scanners, and high-performance workstations. Multi- Spectral Image Processing Laboratory, The Multispectral Image Processing Laboratory is devoted to analyzing high-dimensional multispectral image data and to the transfer of the resulting technology to the user community. A wide variety of applications, both with regard to air- and space-derived Earth observational data and other forms of remote sensing, is possible. Purdue Multimedia Testbed, The Purdue Multimedia Testbed was developed for the study and evaluation of networked multimedia systems. Research areas supported by the laboratory include video and image compression, computer networks, multimedia authoring, media capture, wireless systems, and a wide variety of applications. Robot Vision Laboratory, Spectral Imaging Systems Laboratory, The Spectral Imaging Systems Laboratory has been developed for the collection of multidimensional data sets. The principal sensors include a high spatial resolution digital still camera and a novel multispectral scanning system that yields several hundred bands of spectral data at each pixel in the image.
