In essence, our group work(ed/s) on severals aspects of Multi-dimensional and Multi-variate Data Analysis. These aspects cover a whole range of activities starting with image acquisition, through early vision and feature extraction to pattern recognition. Briefly after I left, the pattern recognition research moved to a different group. This necessitated a change of name from Pattern Recognition Group to Quantitative Imaging Group.
I worked closely together with Lucas van Vliet and Piet Verbeek. The blurb on Lucas' home page states that his interests include "segmentation and analysis of objects, textures and structures in multi-dimensional digitized images from a variety of imaging modalities". We carry on with one of the traditional strengths of our group: measurement in images. Lucas, Piet, my compadres (the postdocs and PhD students under Lucas' and Piet's supervision) and our students are the people I worked with in my day-to-day research:

Compadres Peter Bakker Judith Dijk Richard van den Doel Frank Faas Geert van Kempen Cris Luengo Tuan Pham Bernd Rieger Geert de Vries Kees van Wijk |
Students (supervised by Lucas van Vliet
and/or Piet Verbeek, and myself) Rutger Jan van Asselt, "Line and Edge Characterisation using Mallat Wavelets", 1997. Joost van de Weijer, "Curvature and Anisotropy Estimators for Line Bundle Images", 1998 Robert Peeters, "Markov Random Fields in Image Filtering & Texture Analysis", 1999. Rikje Okker, "Contour Continuation using Space Variant Mathematical Morphology", 2003. Although mostly supervised by Bernd Rieger, I have also been involved in the supervision of: Frederik J. Timmermans, "Estimation of Shape Descriptors based on Principal Curvatures", 2001. |
The remaining research areas covered by our group were (rough descriptions):

| Robotics and hardware/software for Image Processing | Pieter Jonker and co-workers | |
| Medical Image Analysis and Visualisation | Albert Vossepoel and co-workers | |
| Quantitative Microscopy | Ted Young, Yuval Garini and co-workers |
