Dr. J. K. Aggarwal Lecturing about Content Based Image Retrieval
Via Structure, Color, and Texture
The use of images permeates almost every discipline
today. J.
K. Aggarwal, Professor and Director of the Computer
and Vision Research Center at the University of Texas
at Austin, spoke on the deriving of structure via perceptual
grouping, and its use in the classification and retrieval
of images. More

Fall Classes
EE
381 Information Theory
MW 930 - 1100 ENS 145 DeVeciana
E E 380L - Intro to Pattern Recognition & Computer
Vision
MW 1230P - 200P ENS 116 Aggarwal
EE
345S Real-Time Digital Signal Processing Laboratory
Dr. K. Clint Slatton - offered at multiple times ENS 127
and ENS 252B
The Fall 2002 offering will have the same lecture content,
homework coverage, lab assignments, and structure as previous
offerings. The key difference in content is that a newer digital
signal processor, the Texas Instruments TMS320C6701, will
be used.
EE381K
Multiuser Wireless Communications
Dr. Jeff Andrews - MW 5:00-6:15 PM ENS TBD
A crucial feature of wireless systems is that all users
must share a common medium in order to communicate. This class
investigates the different methods that can be used to solve
this multiple access problem.
EE
381K-9 Advanced Digital Signal Processing
Dr. Robert Heath - MW 1100 - 1230P ENS 116
The focus of this class is on statistical signal processing.
It deals with signal modeling, optimal filtering, spectrum
estimation, and adaptive filtering. Class time will be divided
between the theory of statistical signal processing and statistical
signal processing algorithms. Students will apply what they
learn throughout the semester to a term project that incorporates
an element of novel research.
 UT
Undergrads Instrumental in New Website Launch
ECE senior, Bryce
Billing, and Physics major, Jason
Smith, are largely responsible for the new look, functionality,
and backend of the ECE website.
Bryce designed the new website template, assimilated ideas
into the 100 Year Anniversary logo,
created MySQL databases, and did the PHP programming neccessary
for dynamic display--all in record time.
Jason, who works as a Linux administrator for the ECE department,
was the architect of our new webserver farm which eliminated
single points of failure, introduced load balancing, and quadrupled
the possible traffic handled without impacting performance.
This website would not have been possible without them.
EETimes story about Professor Emeritus, Dr. Willis
Adcock
Silicon Transistors: Impossible to
Make
Why did Willis Adcock succeed when others failed? Everybody
in the semiconductor business in the 1950s knew about silicon
and most people knew it would possibly overcome the limitations
of germanium transistors. Everybody knew that silicon had
great potential. But it was just too difficult to manufacture
a silicon transistor. It was an impossible process. Lots of
people had tried. Along came Willis Adcock, who didn't know
any better, so he grew silicon. More...
