工程哲学博士-电气工程（图像处理）

图像处理领域涉及用于处理和传达数字图像和视频的模型，系统和方法的开发。由于对数字图像和视频的可用性和需求的爆炸性增长，人们对开发视频压缩，视频质量评估，图像和视频分析以及在生物医学图像分析中应用新方法的强烈兴趣。UNM在该领域的积极研究包括开发用于数字视频压缩的新方法和系统，用于医学图像分析和可视化的新模型以及合成孔径雷达成像。
Doctor of Philosophy The School of Engineering offers programs leading to Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Engineering (with concentrations in Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering), in Computer Science, and in Optical Science and Engineering (jointly administered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering). The degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is offered under regulations set forth in the Graduate Program section of this Catalog. The general policies and procedures relating to graduate studies in the School of Engineering can be obtained from the departmental graduate advisors. A prospective candidate for this degree must have an acceptable bachelor's or master's degree, or equivalent, in some field of engineering, the physical sciences or mathematics. For more specific departmental requirements for the degree, prospective candidates should consult the specific statements for the different departments in their sections of this Catalog and should also communicate with the graduate advisor of the department. The applicant must also present satisfactory evidence of adequate preliminary training and ability in the field of major interest. The minimum amount of coursework required for the Doctor of Philosophy degree is 24 credit hours beyond the master's degree or 48 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree. This requirement is exclusive of dissertation or master's thesis. These are minimum requirements, ordinarily, more than the 48 credit hours are necessary. The program of each student is an individual matter planned by the committee on studies.
