DLSU Center for Computational Imaging and Visual Innovations

🚀 NEW RESEARCH PROJECT 🚀

We are honored to share that our team participated in the DOST-PCIEERD Grand MOA Signing for 2025 Approved Projects held on December 11, 2025 at the Philippine Trade Training Center.

Our collaborator, DLSU GAME Lab, led by Dr. Neil Patrick Del Gallego, officially signed the Memorandum of Agreement for the project: "Game Development Meets Computer Vision: Using Synthetic 3D Scenes for Computer Vision Tasks"

This project, funded by the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), explores how photorealistic virtual environments built using tools such as Blender, Unity, and Unreal Engine can generate high-quality synthetic datasets for deep learning in computer vision.

By constructing diverse 3D scenes with varying lighting conditions and object configurations, the project aims to:
• Supplement or substitute real-world image datasets
• Reduce large-scale data collection costs
• Enable scalable training for object recognition and other computer vision tasks

CIVI is proud to serve as a collaborating lab in this exciting initiative that bridges game development and AI-driven computer vision research.

This MOA signing event is attended by Dr. Enrico Paringit (Executive Director, DOST-PCIEERD), Ms. Edna Nacianceno (Chief Science Research Specialist, DOST-PCIEERD), Dr. Raymond Tan (VP for Research and Innovation, DLSU), Dr. Neil Patrick Del Gallego (Head, DLSU Game Lab), and Mr. Arren Matthew Antioquia (Head, DLSU CIVI).

We look forward to contributing to impactful, innovative research that advances the Philippine AI ecosystem. 🇵🇭
