Imaging Science in our Modern World
Dr. David Wilson, Department of Mathematics

Room 1011 Biology/Chemistry BuildingTime: 4:00 - 5:00pm
Abstract
The field of imaging science is at the cutting edge of technology in the 21st Century. The advances in imaging science provide us with a multitude
of exciting new advances in application areas including medicine and the military. The goal of this talk is to use echocardiography as an entry
point to the subject, where we discuss the types of problems, techniques, and difficulties encountered in medical image analysis. We will discuss and
evaluate several different types of algorithms developed by myself and my colleagues. We will also mention other applications in imaging science
including one on image acquisition and one on target recognition. These topics will be used to generate a discussion of the skills required of
a researcher before working on such projects.
