Montana State
Tom Asaki - DDMA Lead
Dr. Vogel of Montana State works with the DDMA team in areas of image analysis, functional optimization, inverse problems, algorithmics and related areas of mutual interest. He leads the DDMA effort to apply the map-seeking circuit and related algorithms to single view tomographic reconstruction of cylindrically symmetric objects.
Dr. Vogel is an expert in computational aspects of inverse problems. He has extensive practical experience in this area, and he is the author of a research monograph Computational Methods for Inverse Problems, which appeared in 2002 in the SIAM book series Frontiers in Applied Mathematics.
Vogel has also recently worked with the map-seeking circuit algorithm (MSC). He is first author of a paper Retinal motion estimation and image dewarping in adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, which recently appeared in the online journal Optics Express. This paper describes joint work of Vogel and David Arathorn on the implementation of MSC to solve the important problem of estimating the motion of a target (the retina of the eye in this case) from a sequence of scanned images of the target.them.
