Jerry L. Prince: Research Interests
Image processing, which involves image formation, restoration, and analysis, is an exciting area of research that has applications in the basic sciences, engineering, and medicine. A typical problem uses an image as an intermediate data structure, formed from the raw data, which is to be analyzed further to extract some desired information. This information, be it the location of a defect in a manufactured material or the size of the cardiac cross section in a medical image, can be best determined only after thoroughly understanding the physics of the imaging process and characterizing all available prior knowledge. Given this understanding, one can develop signal processing algorithms that may involve concepts from random signals, statistical inference, optimization theory, and digital signal processing. A complete performance analysis which incorporates both analytic error evaluation and subjective performance evaluation on real data is an important last stage in the process of algorithm development.
