AME - Image Denoising for Enhancement of Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Many modern experimental techniques rely on optical information gathered via cameras, which can contain a variety of noise and false readings. To improve the accuracy of these techniques, it is necessary to identify and remove noise from the system post-processing. This project will entail a background study of existing denoising techniques for optical measurements, which will then be applied to a specific measurement called pressure/temperature sensitive paint (PSP&TSP). The project's ultimate goal is to remove noise from PSP and TSP measurements to improve their accuracy and extend the range of phenomena that can be used to measure.
We are an interdisciplinary lab combining fluid mechanics and chemistry. Students who are interested in interdisciplinary research are encouraged to apply. We have collaborations with overseas institutions, such as JAXA (Japan), SUBARU (Japan), the University of Tokyo (Japan), Sophia University (Japan), Kanagawa University (Japan), Toyota Technological Institute (Japan), Aichi Institute of Technology (Japan), National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan), German Aerospace Center (Germany), Fraunhofer (Germany), and the Arctic University of Norway (Norway). There will be a chance for you to join one of them.
