Dr. Zhou's research specialisation is pattern recognition and image analysis. This is an interdisciplinary research area that draws his experience and training onto image understanding, robotics/intelligent systems and data mining. Image analysis has been continuously applied in the fields as diverse as visual surveillance, medicine, robotics and human-computer interface. The aim is to develop algorithms/systems that enable effective and efficient image segmentation, object detection and tracking, 3-D reconstruction and event search and retrieval. His research to date has focused on the development of machine learning algorithms that allow a system to better describe images while representing/inferring structures. His research has been or is supported by UK EPSRC, EU ICT, Royal Society, Innovate UK, Leverhumle Trust, Puffin Trust, Invest NI and industry.
