    My key research interests focus on remote sensing of vegetation in the tropics, digital mapping, image classification, image-based statistical models, and digital image processing for optical and radar imagery.

  • Xuezhi (Bruce) Yang

    Xuezhi (Bruce) Yang

    My research interests are primarily in the fields of image processing and pattern recognition, specifically on the topics of image denoising, image segmentation and discriminative feature extraction. I am also interested in automated interpretation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery and automated visual inspection system.

    My current research focuses on Image Processing and Computer Vision, or more specifically, automated image and video analysis through detection, tracking and segmentation methods.

  • Parthipan Siva

    Parthipan Siva

    My research interests are primarily in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition with a focus on video analytics. I am particularly interesting in action/activity recognition in videos using a weakly supervised approach.

  • Christian Scharfenberger

    Christian Scharfenberger

    My research interests are in the fields of computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition with an emphasis on saliency computation, camera calibration and stereo vision. I am particularly interested in practical applications of computer vision and image processing methods to problems in robotics and driver assistance systems.

  • Texture Classification

    Texture Classification

    Texture Classification is the problem of distringuishing between textures, a classic problem in pattern recognition. Since many very sophisticated classifiers exist, the key challenge here is the development of effective features to extract from a given textured image.
