Research summary

AI-generated

David Tucker works on signal processing methods for radar and satellite imaging, particularly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), a technology that creates detailed images of the ground using radar signals. His work includes developing statistical and machine-learning techniques to reduce noise (called 'speckle') in radar images, detect changes over time in radar scenes, and improve estimation methods used in radar and array signal processing.
