Laboratory for Advanced Signal and Image Processing

The Laboratory for Advanced Signal and Image Processing (LASIP) has research interests in novel techniques for multi-dimensional signal analysis and processing of data for military, medicine, and remote sensing applications. The current focus of the research effort is on developing multi-scale algorithms for military applications; specifically, on automatic target detection/recognition (ATD/R) and missile tracking. The goal is to exploit the power of multi-scale signal and image processing techniques to develop faster and better algorithms. In particular, multi-dimensional continuous wavelet transforms (MCWT) and fractal analysis provide a compact representation of an image or a target of interest.

Representative current projects include the following:

  • Analysis of Clutter Complexity

  • ATD/R Algorithms for Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Sensors

  • Automatic Target Recognition of Template-Based SAR

  • Continuous Wavelet Transform-Based Algorithms for Detection and Classification of Targets in FLIR Images

  • Image Compression Algorithms Using Discrete Wavelets

  • Image Quality Evaluation Based on Continuous Wavelet Transform

  • Selection of Optimized Features for ATD/R in Multiple Sensors

  • Studies of Extended Fractal Features

  • Target Tracking in Noisy Environment Using Spatio-Temporal Wavelets

  • Texture-based SAR Target Feature Extraction

  • Tracking, Detection, and Identification of Targets in TV Imagery
