Research Laboratory: Signal and Information Processing (SIP) Lab

Location: ENG403, Ryerson University Engineering

 

SIP LAB conducts research in the broad areas of statistical signal processing theory and information theory, with focus on detection theory, learning from data, data denoising and compression, and model order(complexity) detection/selection. We develop theories and algorithms for applications in data modeling and information extraction. Our methods have been applied in various areas such as biomedical signal and image processing, power spectrum estimation, and hyperspectral imaging.
