uCAIR

The uCAIR project, funded by the European Union, develops an ultra-fast Raman spectroscopy technique for real-time, non-invasive biomedical imaging. By combining advanced spectroscopy with machine learning, the system enables rapid and precise detection of molecular-level changes in biological tissues, supporting early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.

Expert System for Raman Reconstruction

The Computer Vision Group focuses on data analysis and AI-driven modelling, including the development of embeddings for Raman signatures, spectral classification, and an intelligent expert system. A key component is a deep learning based reconstruction pipeline that recovers Raman spectra from measured CARS or SRS signals, enabling accurate interpretation of complex data (see DA-DMD and RamPINN). This reconstruction capability allows reliable classification of tissue regions, such as distinguishing tumor from non-tumor areas.

The expert system further assists users by guiding measurement procedures, optimizing sensor parameters, and highlighting feature importance for downstream tasks. Through AI-guided feedback, the system improves both acquisition efficiency and diagnostic accuracy, making advanced spectral analysis more accessible to domain scientists.
