Description of Research Interests

Ashutosh Aggarwal’s research interests are in single-image super-resolution as well as super-resolution of input video sequences. His interest lies in exploring the use of orthogonal rotation invariant moments (ORIMs) for image super-resolution application, because of their superior reconstruction ability and high robustness towards noise. Besides this, he is currently working on the efficient and effective retrieval of bio-medical images such as MRI and CT, using ORIMs and local feature descriptors based on LBP.
