Profile
My research laboratory focuses on the robust design, accurate analysis and efficient implementation of image and video processing algorithms with applications in biomedical devices, 3D surgical system, consumer electronics and mobile video. In the area of biomedical devices, we developed efficient processing algorithms to enhance the video quality as well as resolution of fluidic lens camera system. In the area of retina image processing, we developed deep-learning registration platform for multimodal retina images. In the area of 3D surgical system, we designed view synthesis algorithms to enable 3D viewing on multiview autostereoscopic display, using the stereo image pairs. This capability enables the surgeons and others in the operation room to view 3D without using glasses. For consumer electronics area, we analyzed the effect of various frame rate conversion techniques on consumer-graded LCD as well as developing efficient 3D video coding and processing algorithms. We also investigated deep learning algorithms for image and video enhancement and processing. In mobile video area, our laboratory investigates the application of saliency in robust mobile video delivery in wireless communication. My Google H-index is 66 with over 27K citations, Google Scholar.
I have maintained a research team of 7-10 Ph.D. students and visiting scholars of diverse background in computer vision, signal and image processing, medicine and applied mathematics. We perform multidisciplinary research collaborations with faculty members from the School of Medicine, Department of Psychology and CalIT2. In this project, we plan to apply our expertise in image processing and machine learning/data science to help in developing a matrix of retinal structure and function across many instruments and platforms. The preliminary results in collaboration with Dr. Freeman’s research group at the UCSD Jacobs Retina Center show promising results.
