HD-3: Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing

Sunday Morning, July 6, 08:30 - 12:30

Presented by

C. H. Chen, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Abstract

The tutorial will present the topics: transform methods in signal and image processing for remote sensing; Statistical pattern recognition in remote sensing; Models for contextual information in remote sensing; Change detection; and Data fusion.

A brief description of topics:

  • In transform methods we will cover versions of PCA, ICA and other orthogonal
  • transforms such as Hermite transform.
  • In statistical pattern recognition we will present major classification techniques for
  • remote sensing.
  • In models for contextual information we will present both Markov random
  • field and the 2-D time series analysis models.

Speaker Biography

Chi Hau Chen (IEEE Life Fellow 2003, Fellow 1988) received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1965. He has been a faculty member with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMass Dartmouth) since1968 where he is now Chancellor Professor.

Dr. Chen was the Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing from 1982 to 1986, Associate Editor on information processing of IEEE Trans. on Geoscience and Remote Sensing 1985 to 2000. He is also a Fellow of International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR, 1966) and an Associate Editor of International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence since 1985. In addition to the applications of statistical pattern recognition, he has been active with the signal and image processing of ultrasonic data for nondestructive evaluation of materials. He has published 25 books in his areas of research interest.
