<H4>RESEARCH ACTIVITIES </H4>
<P>
Application of the estimation theory to signal/image processing,
communications, and control problems. Developed innovative algorithms
for variable time delay estimation using MAP, ML, and Kalman filtering
techniques. Developed new methods for nonuniform frame-to-frame
image motion detection and estimation in the presence of noise.
These schemes are currently tested for video compression from
noisy data.
