RESEARCH

Robust Image Transmission
Develop error detection and correction methodology for corrupted JPEG images caused by transmission over a noisy wireless channel.

Image Quality Measure
Develop objective image quality measures that will resemble the human subjective image quality measure by taking into account the human visual characteristics.

Error Concealment
Develop an algorithm to conceal corrupted blocks in the image by using a few reference pixels in the block and the uncorrupted adjacent blocks to estimate the pixels of the corrupted block.

Cochlear Implant
Develop a speech coding strategy for cochlear implant based on the temporal information and zero crossing. The bipolar electric pulses sent to the implanted electrodes inside the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerve will mimic the mechanical stimulation of the normal cochlea so the speech perception by deaf people might be improved.
