The Laboratory of Vision Engineering (LoVE) at the University of Lincoln specialises in the capture, transmission, processing and understanding of image, video and other high-dimensional data. The group focuses on several application areas including healthcare, scientific, security, environmental and behavioural monitoring; as well as developing novel processing algorithms and designing/supplying new imagers and systems.
LoVE possesses a unique capability within the UK research landscape, namely the expertise, resources, and networks to develop new imaging techniques and analysis methods co-created with members of the biomedical, agricultural, and ecolological communities. It collaborates with major hospitals across the NHS and abroad, as well as leading national and commercial research facilities and industries such as the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell and UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. LoVE also boasts the University’s first spin-out company, Agaricus Robotics; a robotic harvesting service provider to the mushroom industry.
LoVE’s vision is to become an internationally recognised centre for medical image computing and computer vision research. We currently lead and have supported a large number of collaborative research projects funded by UKRI, Wellcome Trust, NC3Rs, CRUK, Fight for Sight, EU FP7 and Horizon 2020.
