Photometry and radiometry-based metrology for design and development of high-precision fully-autonomous robotic inspection systems

我研究的长期目标是专注于开发方法，以优化集成高精度多光谱成像传感器与无人系统的操作，以创建高精度产品，检测工具和制造过程。特别是，用于无人系统的基于光度和辐射的计量学已经引起了研究界的极大关注，因为它们在信息传输能力和所需的获取/处理时间方面超过了人类已知的其他传感器。然而，除了制造层面的物理挑战之外，这个难题的缺失部分是缺乏智能，但强大的信息过滤器来处理广谱成像传感器产生的大量数据。

The long-term objective of my research is to focus on developing methods to optimally integrate high-precision multi-spectral imaging sensors with the operation of unmanned systems to create high precision products, inspection tools, and manufacturing processes. In particular, photometry- and radiometry-based metrology for unmanned systems have been drawing a significant attention within the research community since they surpass other sensors known to the man kind in terms of information transfer capacity and the required acquisition/processing time. The missing piece in this puzzle, aside from physical challenges at the manufacturing level, however, is the lack of intelligent, yet robust information filters to deal with the massive data generated by wide-spectrum imaging sensors.
