At Applied Vision Research and
Consulting (AVRC), we provide our clients with services of utilizing
the knowledge of visual perception and cognition in their design of innovative imaging
products; we develop computational tools to simulate visual performance and visual
image processing; and we offer easily accessible technical services for human factors
and vision researchers. Please visit the Services site
for details and contact us for further information and service needs.
We also provide products, which are mostly free web tools, for users to perform
image manipulation under internet Explorer, without the needs of installing and
launching other software. The currently available tools are
TweakImage and DisplayCal.
TweakImage includes functions to load, display, rotate, remove, rectangular
crop, change contrast, and download images; and DisplayCal provides a rough estimate
of the gamma value for your display using a visual matching method. The estimated
gamma value can be used to adjust the displayed images accordingly inside TweakImage.
We appreciate your feedback on using these tools and
suggestions on developing new functions and new tools.
Our Mission
To facilitate the utilization of human vision technology in
real world applications.
To provide practically useful and easy-to-use image tools
for online users.
Company Profile
Applied Vision Research and Consulting,
located in Rochester, New York, was registered in June 2005, specializing human
vision related research, application, testing, and methodology.
Our
SERVICESinclude human
factors issues and human vision based evaluation and optimization in imaging product
design, development of computational algorithms to estimate human visual performance,
development of automated tools to monitor the image quality of imaging products,
perceptual experimental designs, and quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling
of vision experimental data.
The founder
of this organization is Dr. Jian Yang, who is a
vision scientist with 15 years of vision research experience in both academia and
industry settings. He received a BS degree in physics from Fudan University in 1982, an MS degree in optics from the
Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics
in 1984, both in China, and a Ph.D. degree in
experimental psychology
from Northeastern University
in Boston in 1991. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the
Center of Visual Science
of the University of Rochester,
a research associate at the College of Optometry
of the University of Houston, and a principal scientist at the Research Labs of
Eastman Kodak Company. His major interest
is to develop human vision models and to apply human vision knowledge to image and
information applications.
