Research Emphasis
Brian Calder trained in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and then switched to signal and image processing, completing a PhD thesis on Bayesian methods in Sidescan Sonar processing in 1997. Since then he has worked on a number of signal processing problems, including real-time grain size analysis, seismic processing, and wave-field modeling for shallow seismic applications. Currently, his research interests include methods for automatic hydrographic data cleaning, error modeling, propagation and visualization, and adaptive sonar backscatter modeling.
