Professor Chein-I Chang is currently a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Professor Chang has authored a book – Hyperspectral Imaging: Techniques for Spectral Detection and Classification (Kluwer, 2003), edited two books – Recent Advances in Hyperspectral Signal and Image Processing (Trasworld Research Network, 2006) and Hyperspectral Data Exploitation: Theory and Applications (Wiley, 2007), and co-edited with a book on High Performance Computing in Remote Sensing (CRC, 2007) with Antonio J. Plaza. He is currently working on a second book, Hyperspectral Data Processing: Signal Processing Algorithm Design and Analysis (Wiley, 2011) and a third book, Real Time Hyperspectral Image Processing: Algorithm Architecture and Implementation (Springer-Verlag, 2012). His research interests include multispectral/hyperspectral image processing, automatic target recognition, medical imaging. He was an Associate Editor in the area of hyperspectral signal processing for the IEEE TRANS. ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING 2001–2007. He is currently on the editorial boards of the Journal of High Speed Networks, Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineering, International Journal of Computational Sciences and Engineering and Open Remoter Sensing Journal. He is a Fellow of IEEE and SPIE...[more]
