MIPS Lab

The MIPS Lab of the University of Milan, established in 2015, focuses on the re-lationship between man and technology, with focus on the four points of its acronym: Multimedia, Interaction, Perception and Society. Multimedia, with its own lab called “I’ve seen things” is focused on digital film restoration and preservation, with attention to film degradation, color analysis and correction and digital data management. One of the main research topics is unsupervised digital movie restoration with spatial models of colors. The Interaction part focuses on the study of Human-Computer Interaction. Particularly, we are active in National and International projects aimed at developing interactive multimodal systems in different domain contexts, especially in the field of smart cities, smart home, IoT and conversational design. Research on Perception is aimed at having a better understanding on how the human visual system works, by studying and modeling the retina and its functioning, including issues related to Color Vision Deficiencies, exploring the retinal-cortical color theory with Spatial Color Algorithms (SCAs), studying and experimenting with Glare and High Dynamic Range. Society, now inactive due to retirement of the professor in charge, used to perform research and development of platforms for open government, e-participation, e-democracy and digital citizenship.
