Development of Computer Vision, Image Processing, and Analysis at the Digital Optics Laboratory of the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Optical and digital images are one of the most important channels for transmitting information. At the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IITP RAS), this topic has always, since the founding of the institute, been given the closest attention. The institute’s employees have made significant contributions to both the domestic and global science of image processing. In this work, the authors touched only on the main stages of the development of the theory, methods, and algorithms for image processing and analysis in the Laboratory of Digital Optics of the Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
