Image Processing Research

Abstract

The research program has as its primary purpose the development of techniques and systems for efficiently processing, transmitting, and analyzing visual images and two dimensional data arrays. Three tasks are reported: Image Understanding Projects; Image Processing Projects; Smart Sensor Projects. The Image Understanding Projects involve the development of generalized processing systems for analyzing images and extracting salient information. The Image Processing Projects include research on novel image coding methods, image restoration, vision modelling and nonlinear two dimensional optical filtering techniques. The Smart Sensors Projects comprise investigations of electronic and optical processing methods integrated with imaging sensors to perform feature and symbolic extraction.
