COLLOQUIUM,
SPEAKER: Dr. Edward Aboufadel,
Department of Mathematics,
TITLE: Wavelets, Secret Messages, and Spam
Abstract:
For
the past several years, there has been much excitement and creativity
surrounding the subject of wavelets.
Much of this enthusiasm comes from known and potential
applications. For example, wavelets have
found use in image processing, the restoration of recordings, seismology, and
text-to-speech software. For the past
several years, the speaker has worked with undergraduates on research projects
on wavelets and applications. He will
describe these projects, which include hiding messages in images, reading
"CAPTCHAs", and finding airplanes in aerial
photographs.
