About

The Intelligent Imaging and Sensing Lab, under the direction of Amit Ashok, is engaged in conducting cutting-edge research to develop the next generation of optical imagers and sensors via the new paradigm of computational sensing. The computational sensing approach exploits knowledge about information-bearing signals and task-application to realize novel optical imager and sensor designs employing reconfigurable-unconventional optics and sophisticated image processing algorithms to achieve revolutionary performance. This multidisciplinary research draws from varied disciples such as physical optics, optical engineering, statistical optics, signal-image processing, machine learning, statistical inference and computer science. Students in the lab get the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with tabletop optical imaging experiments as well as develop advanced image processing algorithms for CPU-GPU based parallel architectures on the lab's computer cluster capable of six teraflops.
