Computer Vision & Perception

State-of-the-art algorithms for object detection, semantic segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and scene understanding — enabling machines to interpret the visual world.

Computer Vision & Perception

Our computer vision research pushes the boundaries of visual intelligence — from real-time object detection in low-resource environments to full 3D scene reconstruction. We develop transformer-based architectures and lightweight inference pipelines suited to edge deployment in African contexts where compute is constrained.

Key Research Topics

Object Detection

Real-time multi-class detection using YOLO-family and transformer-based detectors, optimised for low-power embedded systems.

Scene Segmentation

Pixel-level semantic and panoptic segmentation for autonomous driving, medical imaging, and satellite scene parsing.

3D Reconstruction

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and photogrammetry pipelines for high-fidelity 3D scene and object reconstruction.

Edge Inference

Quantised, pruned models and TensorRT deployment strategies enabling full vision pipelines on edge and mobile hardware.
