Research Topics
Our research group
focuses on the theory and applications of multidimensional (MD) signal
processing. Current and past
work has been internationally and nationally recognized and has received a
number of international and national awards.
We carry out research on such topics as:
- Reduced complexity 2D/3D Fan/Cone FIR Filters for plane wave filtering
and beamforming
- Synthesis, design and real-time VLSI circuit implementations of 2D, 3D
and 4D filters, including 3D Cone Filter Banks, for selectively filtering or
jamming of spatio-temporal plane waves and beamforming
- Enhancement of and tracking of objects in video sequences using 2D, 3D
and 4D filters
- object extraction from 4D lightfields using 4D filters
- Real-time enhancement and jamming of sampled broadband spatio-temporal
plane waves using Analog 2D and 3D filters
- Adaptive 2D and 3D filters for Tracking Objects in Video Sequences and
in Acoustical Images
- 3D modeling of Human Faces for Videoconferencing
- Real-time enhancement of Damaged Movie Films
- Real-time Data Hiding in and Watermarking of Video Sequences
- Lossless Image Compression of Color Video Sequences
- Image Compression Using Fractal Block Processing (see
Michael
Lazar's page)
- Simulation and Design Tools for 1D, 2D and 3D Filter Design (see
Chris
Kulach's page)
- Velocity Estimation for Objects in Video Sequences Using 3D Filters (see
Norm
Bartley's page)
- Analog and Digital Real-Time Video Filter Circuit Instrumentation (see
Chris
Kulach's page)
