Trosolwyg

Dr Yulia Hicks joined the Cardiff School of Engineering as a lecturer in May 2004. Her main research interests are in the areas of Computer Vision and Image Processing. Dr Hicks’ other research interests lie in the areas of statistical modelling, modelling and tracking of human motion, joint modelling of facial articulation and speech and multi-modal signal processing. In the past several years, she was involved in EPSRC and industry funded research projects on video-assisted blind source separation, modeling and recognition of interactive human behaviour ans statistcial modeling. Dr Hicks is a co-director of the Human Factors Technology Centre, an interdisciplinary Research Centre which brings together the Schools of Engineering, Psychology and Computer Science.

Meysydd goruchwyliaeth

Mae Dr Hicks yn gyd-gyfarwyddwr y Human Factors Technology Lab, Canolfan Ymchwil ryngddisgyblaethol sy'n dwyn ynghyd yr Ysgolion Peirianneg, Seicoleg a Chyfrifiadureg. Mae'n gartref i amrywiaeth o offer dal cynnig, camera fideo 3D a swyddfa ymchwil bwrpasol gyda desgiau a chyfrifiaduron. Goruchwyliodd Dr Hicks 18 o fyfyrwyr PhD yn llwyddiannus (deg fel y prif oruchwyliwr ac wyth fel cyd-oruchwyliwr) a dau MPhil (un prif oruchwyliwr ac un cyd-oruchwyliwr). Ar hyn o bryd mae'n goruchwylio pum myfyriwr PhD.

Ar hyn o bryd, mae'n mynd ar drywydd ymchwil ac yn chwilio am gydweithrediadau newydd yn y meysydd hyn:

  • AI egluradwy
  • Gweithredu dynol a chydnabod gweithgarwch mewn fideo
  • Modelu a nodweddu symudiad dynol ar gyfer clefydau niwro-ddirywiol a phoen cefn
  • Delwedd fiofeddygol a phrosesu signal
  • Ceisiadau AI mewn Peirianneg
