Research Interest

My primary research interests are in the fields of statistical pattern recognition and parallel computing. I am also interested in computer vision and CNC interpolator algorithm. The list of research projects previously involved are stated below: 1. Designing parallel algorithm for reference-pulse CNC interpolator 2. The development of new leaf recognition model for Ficus deltoidea Jack (Moraceae) varietal

identification by introducing petiole section removal technique, a new statistical model and the parallelization of image processing tasks
