UniS-University of Surrey. The Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) at University of Surrey (UniS) is one of the largest groups of its type in the UK and part of the RAE rated 5*(A) School of Engineering and Physical Sciences -- an award which is shared by only two other electronic engineering departments. CVSSP contains over 90 active researchers working in the areas of vision, image processing, medical imaging and graphics and has received numerous awards. CVSSP's work on machine learning and on contextual decision-making received the BMVA award of the Science Prize and Pattern Recognition Society Prize respectively. CVSSP shared an EU Grand Challenge Prize in computer imaging for its role in the development of the software for the winning 3D Scanners IT product ModelMaker in 1996. Its success in collaborating with industry is reflected in the DTI, the Secretary of State's University/Industrial Partnership First Prize in 1999 and its spin out companies. The Centre has successfully participated in a number of EU projects in computer vision (VAP, VAP2, RETINA, XXX), image communication (SCALAR), visual inspection (AVIS, ASSIST), personal identity verification (M2VTS, Banca), video retrieval (ASSAVID) and Cognitive Systems (CogViSys, VAMPIRE and COSPAL).
