Professor Andrew Wallace

Heriot-Watt University

Andrew Wallace is the Deputy Director of the Joint Research Institute of Signal and Image Processing of the Edinburgh Research Partnership in Engineering and Mathematics.   He is a Professor at Heriot-Watt University with research interests in Computer Vision, Image and Signal Processing.   The principal projects of current interest include: 3D imaging and interpretation, especially using LiDAR systems; video analytics, human tracking and behavioural analysis; and embedded and parallel software implementation of array processing algorithms,

Currently, he has collaborative projects with the Photon Counting Technologies aiming to build long range 3D imaging systems which set new standards for sensitivity and accuracy, and with the Embounded Group to develop algorithms for video analytics and autonomous vehicle guidance in a coded form that can be analysed for space and time complexity.
