Imaging at UF

    The imaging research group at the University of Florida is currently engaged in research in image enhancement and feature recognition. Applications include medical imaging and remote sensing. Our approaches include the following.

• Methods for PET image formation

  New methods for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) include deblurring the discrete gaussian, and limited angle tomography technique for image formation.

• PDE-based image processing

  Partial differential equations and variational methods are applied to image processing: image denoising, edge-detection and enhancement, automatic identification of the epicardial and endocardial borders of the heart in 2-D echocardiographic images.

• Neural Networks and Computer Vision

  Image algebra is an underlying structure for understanding and improving methods in parallel processing, feature understanding and feature recognition.
