RESEARCH PROJECTS

1. Biorthogonal FIR Perfect Reconstruction Filter Banks (PRFB) -
Characterization:
The focus of this work is a way of obtaining two polynomial matrices, of
finite degree, such that their product is a delay. We used spectral theory
of regular matrix polynomials to characterize such pairs for a given delay.
Explicit expressions for the forward and inverse systems are given interms
of Eigen values and Jordan chains. Interpretations on the behavior of eigen
values for special cases of interest such as linear phase and unimodular
are studied. ([1],[4] and [8])

2. Causal Stable IIR PRFBs - Design:
In this work, we proposed a way to obtain two rational matrix functions
(RMF) such that their product is unity and poles of both RMFs are inside
unit circle, ensuring stability. The RMFs are realized in state space form
(MIMO) and minimality (non redundant representation of the system) is
ensured. Two design methods

a) Minimal factroziation - In this design, both the forward and inverse
systems with Mcmilan degree m are realized as a cascade of degree one
blocks, theory of chain of invariant subspaces is used to obtain such a
design. ([2],[5] and [8])

b) Jordan Decompostion - In this design [3][6], the state transition
matrices of the forward and inverse systems are related using function of a
matrix and similarity transformation for a causal stable design. ([3],[6]
and [8])

3. Multidimensional System thoery - M dimensional Filter bank design,
Grobner basis methods.
4. Image Denoising using adaptive wavelets.
5. Finite Element Modeling of Electromagnetics.
6. Image Enhancement using Anisoptrpic diffusion.
7. Visualization techniques for large data sets [7].
