Revision as of 16:09, 27 March 2007

We are expanding. There will be disruption due to the relocation of the MMVL during the first week of April.

Entrance of Sheffield Hallam University at night

MMVLWiki

This is the MediaWiki site of the Microsystem & Machine Vision Laboratory (MMVL) at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.

Our main research activities involve the design, development and implementation of machine vision techniques targeted at a variety of real-time and non real-time applications which include micro-robotic systems, biological applications, micro-manipulation, microscope imaging, SEM/TEM applications and non-destructive testing of MEMS devices.

The MMVL has been working on a number of European and UK funded research projects, such as Miniman, Micron, I-Swarm and Nanorobotics. The MMVL is also actively involved in consultancy for industry.

If you are interested in a project with the MMVL, please contact us.

Also have a look at the MMVL's open-source Mimas real-time computer vision library / toolkit and at the MMVL's research activities in medical image processing.

If you need assistance, please visit the help section.
