The Institute for Imaging, Data and Communications (IDCOM) develops theory, algorithms and hardware for the next generation of signal processing, imaging and communication systems.
Our programme of research delivers world leading research in communications, signal processing and imaging, from fundamental theory and algorithmic work through its translation to specific application domains, including:
- Wireline, radio frequency (RF) and optical communications systems and networks
- Acoustic, video, radar, sonar and electro-optic sensing systems
- Imaging systems for medical and industrial applications
Research Themes
The Institute for Imaging, Data and Communications currently has a number of research themes:
The institute also leads ERPE activities in these areas.
Masters Programme in Signal Processing and Communications
Within the School of Engineering the Institute for Imaging, Data and Communications runs an MSc programme in Signal Processing and Communications
EPSRC and MoD Centre for Doctoral Training in Sensing, Processing, and AI for Defence and Security (SPADS)
The SPADS doctoral programme will train the next generation of highly professional defence scientists, including engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians, capable of leading developments in cutting-edge and generation-after-next technologies in information and communication technology that are poised to transform not only the world of defence & security, but also the broader civilian society.
