Technical
University of Crete, Greece.
The
Technical University of Crete (TUC) is one of the foremost Engineering
Schools in Greece, pursuing education and research in modern aspects of
technology. TUC was established in Chania, Crete in 1977. It admitted
undergraduate students for the first time in 1984. At present, there are five
Engineering Departments in TUC (1) Mineral Resources Engineering, (2)
Electronics and Computer Engineering, (3) Production Engineering and Management,
(4) the Department of Sciences, and (5) Environmental Engineering.
The
Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering has 18 academic staff, more
than 500 undergraduate and 80 graduate students The purpose of the Mineral
Resources Engineering Dept. is to educate engineers in a broad range of
scientific and technological issues of exploration & positioning, mining,
applied geophysics, environmental geo-technology, geo-statistics, mineral
extraction and processing, reservoir engineering, geo-informatics and remote
sensing.
The
TUC research group will involve the Digital Image and Signal Processing Lab (DISPLAY) from the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering
with Director Prof. M. Zervakis and
the Geodesy & Geomatics Engineering Lab (GeoMatLab) from the Department of Mineral Resources Engineering with
Director Prof. S. P. Mertikas.
The
DISPLAY lab has extensive experience
in a variety of signal & image processing issues. Representative work of the
groups appears in the following areas: Image Processing and Analysis; Non-linear
Identification using Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems; Neuro-fuzzy Modelling,
3-D Modelling; Biomedical Image Processing Time-Series Processing; Fault
Monitoring; Product Inspection and Quality Control ; Adaptive and Predictive
Control; Multimedia Information Systems; Internet Information Systems
Spatial Access methods, Access Methods for images and Video, Virtual Reality
Software Algorithms, Video Processing and Compression, Renewable Energy Sources.
The
GeoMatLab R&D activities are
directed to a variety of disciplines, such as Satellite Geodesy, Precise
Positioning, Navigation, Data Analysis, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information
Systems, and Image Processing. The aim of is GeoMatLab is
(a) to
undertake world-class research on satellite geodesy, remote sensing, and data
analysis; (b) address innovative applications, and (c)provide a high quality teaching and learning
environment. In particular, it conducts R&D on high precision satellite
navigation and geodetic positioning; establishment of
permanent GPS arrays; Monitoring of the tectonic and geodynamic motion of
the earth’s crust, etc.; Satellite altimetry; Sea level changes; Data quality
control, Statistical analysis and quality control of remote sensing and geodetic
data; Development of a System for Oil Spill and Environmental Monitoring in the
Eastern Mediterranean Using Remote Sensing and related Technologies; Development
of a Remote Sensing System for wild and forest fires; Use of satellite and
airborne sensors and images for environmental applications.
TUC will be responsible for:
B.4.2 Program for Jointly Executed Research Activities
JPA-C: Communication
JPA-PD: Navigation & Positioning
B.8.2 Program
for Jointly Executed Research Activities
JPA-C: Communication
JPA-PD: Navigation & Positioning

CV
of Prof. Zervakis & Prof. Mertikas
Prof. Michael Zervakis holds a Ph.D degree, University of Toronto, Dept.
of Electrical Engineering, 1990. He joined TUC on 1995, where he is a professor
at the Electronics and Computer Engineering Dept. He is the director of the
DISPLAY Lab and is involved in research on signal processing, including
industrial inspection and control, biomedical imaging, estimation and
constrained optimisation, multi-channel and multi-band signal processing,
wavelet analysis for data/ image processing and compression, biomedical imaging
applications, neural networks and fuzzy logic in automation applications. He has
been involved in more than 20 international projects and has published more than
60 papers in related areas of image/signal processing
Prof.
Stelios Mertikas received a M.Sc.E.
(1983) and a Ph.D. (1987), Dept. of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering,
University of New Brunswick (UNB), Canada. He has 23-year experience with
satellite precise positioning, navigation, quality control and remote sensing.
He has worked as a Lecturer and Professor at UNB and the University of Toronto,
Canada, respectively. He was post-doctoral fellow at the University of Calgary,
Canada in 1991 and also Honorary Visiting Fellow at the School of Geomatic
Engineering of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia during his
sabbatical in 1996. In 2000, he was a Science and Technology fellow at the
National Research Institute of Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Tsukuba,
Japan. He is now Professor, Director of Graduate Studies at the Dept. of Mineral
Resources Engineering, TUC and also Director of the GeoMatLab.
