DESCRIPTION:Image registration is the process of finding the best spatial 
 alignment between two images. In this talk I will discuss some recent proj
 ects which have used improved image registration techniques to achieve bet
 ter performance. The first application is in improving motion compensation
  in video compression where we would like to find the best alignment betwe
 en successive video frames in order to form a good prediction of one frame
  from the other. I will then give an overview of using image registration 
 in a medical imaging application where we would like to register a 2D X-ra
 y video frame with a 3D CT scan.  Lastly I will discuss registering remote
 ly sensed images which have been captured using different sensors to provi
 de a richer set of features with which to classify objects and regions in 
 the images.\n\nMark Pickering is an Associate Professor in the School of E
 ngineering and Information Technology\, The University of New South Wales\
 , at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Mark holds Bachelor\, Masters a
 nd Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Electrical Engineering and has co-autho
 red over 50 journal and international conference papers on image processin
 g\, compression and communications. His main area of research is digital i
 mage processing. Within this broad discipline\, he has supervised research
  projects on more specific topics including: digital video compression\, h
 yperspectral data compression\, image segmentation\, streaming video over 
 computer networks\, medical image registration\, digital video watermarkin
 g and automatic target detection. \n\n
