RESEARCH PROFILE
Gerard de Haan鈥痠s Professor of Electronic Systems within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒).
His research field is video signal processing in a broad sense. Application areas include multimedia systems and video health monitoring. The general goal of the processing is signal enhancement to improve the image quality and accurate sensing of vital signals amidst strong artifacts, with topics including: noise and artifact reduction, video format conversion, displayspecific processing, and enabling technologies such as motion estimation and object detection.
De Haan鈥檚 research has been documented in鈥�4 books and 3 book chapters, about鈥�200 papers and more than鈥�200 patent applications, and it has resulted in various鈥痗ommercially available ICs.鈥疍e Haan serves on the program committees of various international conferences on image/video processing and analysis and has been a guest editor for special issues of Elsevier, IEEE, and Springer.鈥�
Both the function and the implementation determine the resulting video processing algorithm, and ideally they should be designed together.鈥�
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Gerard de Haan received his BSc (cum laude), MSc (cum laude), and PhD degrees from鈥疍elft University of Technology鈥痠n 1977, 1979 and 1992, respectively. He joined鈥疨hilips Research鈥痠n 1979 to lead research projects in the area of video processing and analysis. From 1988 to 2007, he taught post-academic courses for the Philips Center for Technical Training at various locations in Europe, Asia and the United States.鈥�
In 2000, he was appointed Fellow in the Video Processing & Analysis group of Philips Research Eindhoven, and Full Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology鈥�(果冻传媒).
