Research Interests
Professor Zheng's research interests include two aspects. One is in video and image processing based on wavelet transform and machine learning (SVM-based approaches). Current efforts focus on multimedia compression, object (including face) recognition and object tracking. The other is in robotics with current afforts on robot and automation for life science applications. His research activities are supported by the National Science Foundation, Air Force Research laboratory, and DAGSI (see the recent publications below).
