Biography
I am Olivier D'Hondt, I was born in Paris, France.
I received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 2002 and the Ph.D. degree in Signal Processing and Telecommunication in 2006, both from the University of Rennes 1, France.
Since March 2006, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow and stay as an invited member with the Remote Sensing Laboratory, RSLab., from the Signal Theory and Communications Department TSC, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain. I am also with the Geophysical Imagery team from the Geosciences Rennes Laboratory, University of Rennes 1, France. My activities encompass Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and sidescan SONAR image analysis and processing. My research interests are spatial and statistical modelling of images, feature extraction applied to automatic processing methods as speckle filtering, segmentation, classification and detection.
I received a Student Paper Award at the European Conference in Synthetic Aperture Radar (EUSAR) 2004, Ulm, Germany for the paper entitled Non Stationary Texture Analysis from Polarimetric SAR Data.
