Itoh laboratory mainly focuses on visualization and multimedia. We do not limit our activity to specific fields of academic society, magazines, and conferences. Instead, we first specify what we want to (or have to) focus on for each student or project, and then specify how to proceed the research or where to present/publish our results.

Above figure shows a list of research fields we presented (or will present) our research. One of our most valuable resources is the human network across such wide variety of research fields. We would like to explore new applied research in computer science with knowledge and experiences in wide research fields.

This page introduces each category studied in the laboratory, not using a classification according to technical terms shown above, but in terms of contribution we can make to society.




About science and technology related projects, we introduce the visualization of:pharmaceutical experimental results, genetic codes, simulation outcomes of meteorological phenomena, simulation outcomes of nuclear power plants, analyses of surface figure of proteins.



About social science related projects, we introduce the visualization of: database of newspaper articles, hacking of computer networks, abuse of credit cards.



About Image-related projects, we introduce displaying a list of large quantity of images; searching for partial images; and feature tracking of facial images.



For music-related projects, we introduce browsers that contain a list of compositions for the purpose to offer the listeners; automatic arrangement of compositions; and automatic provider of composition icons.



For creator-related projects, we sketch a model with 3-D characters; and compose image and CG.
