题目：Digital Image Processing (DIC): Principles, Historical Development and Current Applications

报告人：Bill Y.J. Chao

时 间：1月11日（周五）下午2：30
地 点：力学楼434会议室
主持人：裴永茂

报告内容摘要：
    DIC (Digital Image Processing) has been widely used in recent years in many science and engineering fields for deformation measurement, vibration studies, dynamic/static and large/small objects. The seminar will briefly talk about the basic principles of DIC in both 2D and 3D conditions and present the historical development of the DIC.  Finally some recent applications of DIC method will be discussed.

报告人简介：
    Dr. Chao received his B.S. from National Cheng-Kung University in Mechanical Engineering, M.S. from National Tsing-Hua University in Power Mechanical Engineering, both in Taiwan and Ph.D. degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1981. He worked in the petroleum industry briefly before joining the University of South Carolina in 1984. Dr. Chao is currently a Professor and holds the John Ducate, Sr. Endowed Chair at the University of South Carolina. http://www.me.sc.edu/fs/chao.html
    Dr. Chao is a Fellow of both the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He was the Associate Editor (1995-1999) and Editor-in-Chief (2000-2003) of the international journal, Experimental Mechanics. Dr. Chao is also a Research Fellow of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany. He has received numerous awards from the university and professional societies.
    Dr. Chao’s research covers a wide range of topics in applied mechanics including hydrogen embitterment of steels, optical methods, application of digital image processing in manufacturing and mechanics, pressure vessel stress analysis and design, theoretical and experimental fracture mechanics, dynamic response of materials and structures, structural health monitoring, modeling of welding and cutting processes, nano-material characterization, fuel cell durability and bioengineering. He has over 200 publications, h-index =28, and over 3000 citations (as of December 14, 2012 at Googlescholar).
