Prof. Andrew Wallace

Professor
Joint Research Institute in Signal and Image Processing
Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
School of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Earl Mountbatten Building, room EM 2.30
Heriot-Watt University
Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS

Andrew Wallace:: My interests are in Computer Vision, Image and Signal Processing. The principal projects of current interest include
  • 3D imaging and interpretation, especially using LiDAR systems
  • Video analytics, human tracking and behavioural analysis
  • Embedded and parallel software implementations of algorithms
  • Currently, I have collaborative work with the Photon Counting Technologies Group to build long range 3D imaging systems which set new standards for sensitivity and accuracy, and with the Embounded Group to develop algorithms for video analytics and autonomous vehicle guidance in a coded form that can be analysed for space and time complexity.
