The research
carried out in Dr. Ward's Image & Signal Processing Group (ISPL) can
be listed under three headings : 1D Signal Processing (brain signals
and audio), 2D signal processing (images) and 3D signal processing
(videos) .
The research in 1D signal processing mostly includes analysis,
filtering, and enhancement of biosignals (EEG, EOG and EMG) with
application to Brain Computer Interface (BCI) design and disease
diagnosis.
The research in image and video processing involves filtering,
enhancement, compression, coding, restoration, watermarking and
multimedia hashing
analysis. Applications include processing of television images
(cable television and high definition television), face recognition,
biometrics, analysis of medical images (mammography, cytometry,
microscopy, computer tomography, X-ray), multimedia indexing,
copyright detection and real-time video.
Graduate students (and sometimes research engineers or post doctoral
fellows) participate in the research projects conducted in this
group. Some projects are carried out in collaboration with other UBC
research groups and/or with personnel from industrial and government
laboratories.
