Signal Processing and Embedded System Laboratory

SPESL, Signal Processing and Embedded System Laboratory is a fully equipped research laboratory at ECE, for embedded systems and integration, development of HW/SW tools for autonomous ground vehicles and Computer image processing application for autonomous vehicles and robotics. At the SPESL, graduate students are working multiple research and thesis project including biomedical applications; face recognition and image processing for autonomous ground vehicles. Our concentration areas are image processing in autonomous vehicles, obstacle avoidance (off the road) and object recognition. Another key area at the SPESL is the smart home applications including the Internet-capable residential and commercial product design and development. Besides these long-term research projects, the graduate students are also working on small object tracking algorithms with the cluttered background, various real-time images and sensor processing algorithms, such as compressive sensing, IR imaging, and image compressing algorithms. 

In the SPESL lab, we are experimenting with Linux OS, Open CV (Open Source Computer Vision), Python, C++, LabView and Matlab for core algorithms. Presently we are integrating NVIDIA deep-learning development kit for deep learning applications for autonomous ground vehicle thesis research.In the SPESL lab, we are experimenting with Linux OS, Open CV (Open Source Computer Vision), Python, C++, LabView and Matlab for core algorithms.
