Multimodal Vision Research Laboratory

MVRL

about us

The Multimodal Vision Research Laboratory (MVRL) develops novel algorithms for image understanding and works to solve challenging problems in areas including remote sensing, image localization, and medical imaging. This summer we will be moving from the University of Kentucky to the Computer Science and Engineering department of Washington University in St. Louis.

If you are interested in joining us, please check out our openings page for more information and a description of current open positions.
