ICT4D Technologies for Development and Education In ICT4D studies you can learn technologies and methods how to make computer science teaching interesting for students. You can also learn how to use ICT for development in different educational and cultural context. A special target area is Africa. Also, you may study Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
Intelligent Media Computing In Intelligent Media Computing you can learn to use technologies like machine learning, location based computing, color image analysis, and speaker recognition for novel applications, also in mobile setting. UEF, especially School of Computing, is where technologies meet humanity. Michiyo Ashida, IMPIT student, Japan
Implementation of optimal illuminants: Spectrally tunable light source Light source was connected to a Topcon TRC-50V fundus camera Optimal illuminants were tested by taking retinal images from the eyes of 2 diabetics and 2 controls Imaging was done at the Tampere University Hospital
