Research Interests
Professor Casasent's research concerns pattern recognition, image processing and product inspection. New algorithms using morphological processing, computer vision, distortion-invariant filters and neural network techniques are developed for many applications. These include: product inspection, automation, robotics, pattern recognition signal processing, advanced computing, artificial intelligence, missile guidance and synthetic aperture radar and IR and visible data. These new concepts offer parallelism, high speed, flexibility, a wide variety of achievable operations, and many novel data-processing architectures and algorithms.
New algorithms, architectures and hierarchical processors that learn new information about an input scene at successive levels of processing are also being developed. Professor Casasent's main interest is recognition of multiple objects and clutter in the face of 2-D and 3-D geometrical distortions using multiple advanced sensors.
Present research concerns hyperspectral product inspection, biometric recognition and verification, hierarchical classifiers, SAR processing for objects classification.
