Image processing has impacted almost every technical area, its techniques assisted many applications in the fields like medical imaging, space imaging and defense imaging. Over the years, the department has done enormous research work in these fields. Optical imaging and target recognition were among the others on which the department has focused its attention.
We have developed a collection of methods suitable for shape-related inspection, particularly of manufactured items. Methods for evaluating physiology and anatomy of certain body parts have also been investigated.
Methods to allow the detection of the aurora and of particular classes of aurora in satellite imagery have been developed. The methods are being incorporated into a web accessible tool for scientists.
