Title: The trace transform and its applications
The trace transform is a new tool for image processing. It allows one to represent images in a totally different way from that commonly used. It is a generalisation of the Radon transform, and it represents an image in terms of its values along tracing lines. From such a representation one may be able to construct image features which are invariant to various groups of transformations. Such features may be used for image database search, object identification, but also for new approaches to old tasks. A major application presented will concern face authentication.
Maria Petrou Professor of Image Analysis.
B.Sc. in Physics, 1975, University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
Part III, Mathematical Tripos, 1977, University of Cambridge, UK.
Ph.D. in Astronomy, 1981, University of Cambridge, UK.
Fellow of IEE, 1998.
Fellow of IAPR, 2000.
Maria Petrou has been a lecturer in Astronomy at the University of Athens (1981-1983) and a Post Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Oxford, Department of Theoretical Physics (1983-1986). She has been working on Computer Vision since 1986, initially as a Research Associate at the NERC Unit for Thematic Information Systems (NUTIS) in the Geography Department of Reading University, later as an Atlas Research Fellow of St. Hilda's College Oxford at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and since 1988 at the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering of Surrey University, initially as a lecturer subsequently as a Senior Lecturer then as a Reader and since 1998 as Professor of Image Analysis.
Her research interests include many topics on Image Processing, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, with applications in Biomedicine, Geoscience, etc. She has more than 250 publications (click here to view them in postscript format), (or here as a PDF file) (more than 90 in refereed journals) and numerous articles of journalistic nature, like book reviews and conference reports. She has co-authored a book: ``Image Processing, the fundamentals'', John Wiley publishers, ISBN 0471 99883 4 . She has served as the chairman of the IAPR Technical Committee 7 for Remote Sensing (1998-2002) (TC7), and the chairman of the British Machine Vision Association, and Society for Pattern Recognition (1999-2002) (BMVA). She has served as Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and as the newsletter editor of the International Association for Pattern Recognition for 5 years (1994-98) (IAPR) . She is a Fellow of IEE, a Fellow of IAPR, and a member of the IEEE.
