IRIS Lab Facilities

The IRIS Lab is part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee. The IRIS Lab occupies over 15 rooms in both Ferris Hall, home of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and the Science and Engineering research facility.

Ferris Hall: Home of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department


The lab is equipped to conduct research in the fields of 3D computer vision, data visualization, image processing (including enhancement, restoration, and feature extraction), robot vision and sensing, data fusion, evidential reasoning, and pattern recognition. The IRIS Laboratory possesses state-of-the-art hardware for image acquisition, processing, and display. For computer processing, 2 Silicon Graphics Workstations, over 30 high-end PCs, and 4 laptops are available. A number of powerful computers, including an Infinite-Reality Onyx, Origin, and an UltraSparc server are available to the IRIS laboratory faculty and students through The University of Tennessee Computing Center and Data Visualization Laboratory. For image acquisition and display, the lab has 2D and 3D laser range scanners, an Omniview camera system for stereo imaging, proximity sensors, several digitizers, a flatbed scanner, a Kodak DCS465 high-resolution Digital camera, a three-CCD color camera professional NTSC, other medium-resolution color and black and white CCD cameras, and high-resolution color monitors. A three-wall reconfigurable CAVE system is used for visualization of large data sets. The IRIS Laboratory also owns very high-resolution four-axis positioning tables and indexers for sensor placement, as well as model environments used to simulate possible work situations for robotic equipment.
