Principal Investigations: Image Processing/Computer Vision

Professor Cooper's research presently focuses on two main topics: the developement of new geometric, algebraic and probabilistic models for indoor and outdoor scenes, and the developement of a Bayesian estimation and decision theoretic framework for image segmentation, 3-D object recognition, and 3-D object location and orientation estimation. This framework permits practical parallel Bayesian recognition and estimation algorithms for large complex pattern recognition and artificial intelligence problems. Many of these algorithms can be organized for simple VLSI chip implementation.

Professor Cooper teaches:

• EN0257: Applied Stochastic Processes
• EN0158: Communication Systems
