The purpose of the call is to support research groups in Catalonia working in different scientific areas, in order to recognize and promote quality research, knowledge transfer and internationalization of its activities.
The CVC, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, is responsible for the generation of cutting-edge research in computer vision, as well as the valuation and technology transfer. At this time the center has positioned itself as a specialist in the field of computer vision and is considered a leader in the creation of knowledge for the society.
Research groups recognized by the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2014 are: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS); Color In Context (CIC); Document Analysis Group (DAG); Machine Learning and Perception Team (LAMP); Interactive Augmented Machine Vision (IAMV) Image Sequence Evaluation (ISE).
