New beginnings

Here we are, embarking on a new start to research life @ AR4004. Research should never be done alone, sparsely, remotely detached from the thoroughfare of interests among us. For if we fail to synergise, we will find ourselves isolated, having too little time for everything, and short of inspiration.

Visual Processing Lab or ViPr Lab (just say, “viper”) is what we set out to do. A gathering of like minded people working on anything visual that needs processing, be it images or videos, visualizations or interfaces, applications that are lightweight or heavy simulations that pack a punch.

Our ethos revolves around the following points that we think are essential to build a cohesive research group with strong output:

• Postgraduate-undergraduate-faculty research cohesion – Projects are not independent work. They should involve everyone across the board if possible.
• Persuasive research environment – People learn best from examples. A little dose of healthy competition wouldn’t hurt.
• Paper reading group – To do better research, start reading more.

Before I get back to my work, here’s a nice pic of a viper.
