Networks of cameras; Single-chip electronic cameras; Integrated sensor design; Image processing methodologies.
I study biologically-inspired imaging systems, i.e., electronic camera chips and networks of cameras. My work encompasses distributed sensor systems based on insect and spider eyes, sensor swarms, clouds and "smart dust" modelled on ant colonies and schools of fish, high performance integrated sensor design, on-chip image processing methodologies, semiconductor device modelling and simulation, and radiation tolerant design and manufacturing. Applications include aircraft collision avoidance, space systems, industrial inspection, machine vision, and vision rehabilitation.
