Co-supervisors


Convolutional neural network (CNN) has exhibited its significance in addressing large-scale vision tasks such as action recognition, image classification, super-resolution and denoising. Recently, many researchers have reported the potential of employing deep learning techniques to refine high-quality clinical images for diagnosis and treatment. Candidates in this research project will have the opportunity to work with real-world clinical data sets to develop novel deep learning methods to solve the problem by learning the relationship between clean and noisy input images. The resulting high-quality images will be further used for specific disease diagnosis.
