Image Processing Research

Abstract

The research program has as its primary purpose the analysis and development of techniques and systems for efficiently generating, processing, transmitting, and displaying visual images and two dimensional data arrays. Research is oriented toward digital processing and transmission systems. Five task areas are reported on: (1) Image Coding Projects: the investigation of digital bandwidth reduction coding methods; (2) Image Restoration and Enhancement: the improvement of image fidelity and presentation format; (3) Image Data Extraction Projects: the recognition of objects within pictures and quantitative measurement of image features; (4) Image Analysis Projects: the development of quantitative measures of image quality and analytic representation; (5) Image Processing Support Projects: development of image processing hardware and software support systems.
