Research activity in 1999
The research has been carried on pluridimensional signals involving images and sound. In the images area the interest is focoused on three main subjects: pattern recognition, compression and images synthesis. The first subject has been appled to biomedical and pictorical images while the two others are referred to virtual reality domain.
The main topics of the research are:
- improvement and study of new pattern recognition algorithms applied to biomedical, archaeological and pictorial images;
- compression and reconstruction of statical images and movies, both monocromatic and coloured, using Loeve Karhunen expansion based on universal set of eigenvalue functions;
- study and creation of hypermedial didactive modules for normal children and with handycap;
- project of prototipal virtual reality modules;
- upgrading of a package for image processing, developed by the researchers and running on Windows PC, with algorithms in the spatial and frequencies domain;
- application of image processing technique in forensic medicine;
