CCG - Centro de Computação Gráfica
Overview
The CCG/ZGDV Institute was created in 1993 as a private, non-profit making association. Its principal mission is applied scientific and technological research in the area of Computer Graphic and Information Systems, and it focuses on the development of activities and participation in national and international R&TD projects. CCG has as its constituent members the University of Minho and ZGDV - Zentrum fuer Graphische Datenverabeitung in Darmstadt, and various enterprises, as well as national and foreign institutions. In order to promote R&TD in Computer Graphics and Information Systems as areas of its basic competence, CCG also assumed the role of a centre for technological transfer from the University of Minho to Portuguese enterprises (industry and SME) and institutions. In particular, CCG takes part in the management structure of the Centro ALGORITMI in what concerns the R&D Strategic Programme 2015/2020 funded by the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT).
CCG is also a founding member of… The cVIG’s (computer Vision Interaction & Graphics) laboratory is equipped with several state-of-the-art technologies under the scope of technological-scientific fields of the group. Follows a resumed list of available hardware:
