The Research activities in the department of ECE is being carried out in the following thrust areas: signal/speech /image processing, VLSI and embedded systems, communications and networking. Signal Processing is one of the subfields in Electronics and Communication Engineering, which focuses on analysing, synthesizing, and modelling of 1D, 2D and 3D signals such as sound, images and videos. Any information in the nature is consider as a signal. Therefore, signal processing and utilization of that information is very crucial in many applications. From the past two decades, advances in signal processing research are carried out using machine and deep leaning techniques for several real time applications. Regarding in our Department, Doctorates working in diversified fields like speech, image, biometric and biomedical processing. State of the art laboratory with unlimited user MATLAB license facility and Texas Instruments DSP processors for audio, image, and video processing applications.
