Signal, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Group is a new research group (2020) formed by Dr. Athanasios Koutras, Assistant Professor at the ECE Department of the University of Peloponnese. Although new, SIPPRE has already managed to bring together a number of great value academics from universities and research centers, Post Doc researchers, PhD Students as well as graduate students, in a collaborative workspace, where they can produce high quality research in the field of digital signal processing and pattern recognition.

The group’s research themes fall mainly into the following three areas:

A. Audio Processing and Analysis

• Speech processing
• Speech recognition
• Blind Source Separation
• Music information retrieval
• Emotion recognition from speech and music signals

B. Biomedical signal processing and analysis

• EEG brain signal analysis
• Sleep study of brain functionality using EEG
• Brain Computer Interface (BCI) applications
• Brain Computer Interface (BCI) applications in entertainment
• Emotion recognition using EEG signal analysis

C. Medical Image Analysis

• Detection of cancer in digital mammograms
• Recognition of abnormalities in digital mammograms
• Computer Assisted Diagnosis system design
