The Volume Graphics Research Group

Naeem Omar Shareef

Research Activities:

My current research interests are in the areas of Computer Graphics, more specifically Volume Graphics, and Neural Networks. More specifically, I am interested in data processing, storage, and retrieval issues. I am currently working on segmentation of volume data using an neurally plausible oscillator approach. I am also working concerned with the issues dealing with storage and retrieval of large volume datasets for rendering and analysis.
