Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) was founded by Prof. Radu Timofte in the fall of 2021 and is part of both the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS) and the Department of Computer Science (IFI) at University of Wurzburg. Until 2022 Prof. Radu Timofte led the Augmented Perception research group which he founded in the summer of 2016 as part of Computer Vision Laboratory, ETH Zurich headed by Prof. Luc Van Gool.

Our mission is to explore new ways to equip machines with (super-)human perception capabilities and at the same time to augment the human perception using the developed algorithms and the computational power of the machines.
