Signal Processing
EECS researchers are building innovative signal processing techniques that exploit noise and interference for additional information or as cover for covert messages. They are developing static/adaptive filtering schemes that will better enable cooperative communication systems and networks. Remote sensing research of the polar ice caps has led to numerous developments in signal processing. New techniques and methods are being explored in computer vision, digital image processing, optical sensors, and other current EECS research.
Program Objectives
- Understand the fundamental principles involved with extracting signals from noise and interference.
- Understand how to design appropriate static/adaptive filtering schemes according to the particular application, availability of prior information, and operational environment.
- Understand the fundamental limitations imposed by physical systems that bound realizable performance.
- Have the ability to effectively communicate complex, abstract concepts.
