Signal and Image Processing Lab

 

The research activity of Signal and Image Processing Laboratory focuses on the design and performance analysis of signal and image processing methodologies in many application areas spanning from remote sensing, surveillance to augmented reality.

These methodologies include:

  • Passive and active radar sensing
  • Performance evaluation of radar systems in terms of estimation accuracy and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)
  • Theoretical bounds for matched and mismatched scenarios • Robust detection and estimation techniques
  • Cognition technique for active and passive radar systems including machine learning
  • Data and image for environmental monitoring
  • Multisource image registration and mosaicking
  • Data fusion from multiple sensor
  • Sight enhancement
  • High Dynamic Range Visualization
  • 3D scene reconstruction from multiview images
  • Machine vision algorithms for detection and classification of video sequences and/or data acquired by airborne and satellite imaging sensors

The SIP Lab has a long tradition of collaborations with Italian and foreign universities, research centers, space agencies, and private companies: ASI, Italian Space Agency, DLR, Deutschen zentrum fur Luft-und Raumfahrt - German Aerospace Agency, CNR, Italian National Research Council Institutes (IFAC, IMAA, ISTI, IEIIT), Italian Universities (Genoa, Florence, Naples, Pavia, Siena, Trento, Rome “Sapienza”), CentraleSupélec, France, CNIT, National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications, Italy,  Naval Academy, Livorno, Italy, Leonardo S.p.A., Italy, E-Geos Company, Italy, IDS S.p.A, Italy, Flyby S.r.l., Italy, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, Navico Srl, Italy, AFOSR, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, USA, EOARD European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, UK, DRASS Galeazzi Underwater Technology, Italy
