Signal & Data Processing Explored

 		 What is signal processing?
Signal and data processing involves the analysis and extraction of data from any type of ‘signal’. These can be electronically recorded signals, stock market information, or data presented in a spreadsheet.

One of our core areas of expertise is in identifying and extracting data from such sources.

What can we do with it?
Among many of signal processing projects we have delivered, we have developed software to extract ultrasonic bat chirps from forest recordings, measured the composition of red meat from microwave sensors in processing lines, and tracked high-speed eye movements from laser scanning of the human eye. If we have signals, we can process them. 


Image & Colour Processing Explored

 
What is image processing?
Image processing is a specialised subset of signal processing, involving the extraction of information from images. These range from monochromatic (grey scale) through to hyperspectral (up to hundreds of channels).

Our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees solved image processing based problems such as extraction of data from satellite imagery, and colour-based detection and segmentation of shadows from video.

We have a comprehensive understanding of light, colour, cameras and imagery, from the fundamentals of photon generation through to measurement of electronic noise. We have developed algorithms that process RGB, multispectral, and hyperspectral data from a multitude of different sensors.
