The National Research Council of Italy (CNR) is the largest public research institution in Italy and is organized in departments and institutes. ISTI (Institute of Information Science and Technologies "Alessandro Faedo") is affiliated to the CNR Dept. of Engineering, Information, Communication, Energy and Transportation Technologies (DIITET). ISTI-CNR is the largest CNR institute for Computer Science (with a staff of around 230 plus a fluctuating number of students) and is located in Pisa (Tuscany).
The main aim of ISTI-CNR is to advance science and achieve important results in many Computer Science subdomains. ISTI is organized in 13 thematic laboratories covering most if not all CS domains. ISTI collaborates with many universities and research institutions at both national and international levels. Collaborations are often related to specific research projects and consortiums. The Institute also has a very solid expertise and reputation in the design and deployment of CS infrastructures and in technology transfer activities oriented towards industry or the public administration. In addition, ISTI is strongly involved in didactics, at bachelor, masters and PhD levels. Many ISTI researchers hold courses or seminars in national universities or abroad.
Specifically the Signals & Images Lab (SI-Lab) is an inter-disciplinary research laboratory in computer vision, signal analysis, smart vision systems and multimedia data understanding.
Researchers and technologists in computer science, mathematics, engineering and physics work together to produce original and effective research in computer vision and signal analysis, and to transfer knowledge and innovative solutions to society and industrial production and services, in different fields.
