Welcome!

The Center for Computational Biomedicine Imaging and Modeling (CBIM)
was founded by Professor Dimitris Metaxas in 2001 to serve as an
environment for conducting novel research in the areas of
Computational Biomedicine, Computer Vision and Computer Graphics.
CBIM is located in a space comprising of almost 4000 square feet
which includes a separate space for human motion capture
experiments. CBIM serves as a multidisciplinary center between the
Dept of Computer Science and the Bioengineering Department.
Over the past year three new faculty, Ahmed Elgammal (Computer
Vision), Dinesh Pai (Graphics) and Vladimir Pavlovic (Bioinformatics
and Computer Vision) were hired in the computer science department
and joined CBIM. This coming year Nada Boustani (Molecular Imaging)
will join CBIM and the Department of Bioengineering. 15 students, 4
postdocs and 2 Research Professors work at CBIM.
Funding for CBIM is provided by all major Government agencies such
as NIH, NASA, NSF, ARO, ONR and AFOSR. CBIM has several
collaborative projects with research and faculty from other major
Universities such as Boston Univ. UPENN, Columbia, NYU Medical
School, MIT and Stanford.
Equipment
CBIM equipment include 20 PC workstations and 5
Silicon Graphics workstations on Ethernet. Peripheral devices
include color and grayscale printers, two force
feedback devices
(PHANTOM), video editors, video cameras and an array of 18 color
digital cameras for real time and offline human motion capture
(indoor and outdoor). In addition, software for computer animation
and rendering is also available at the center.
