RSPSoc Student Profile: Marc Bartels
Occupation: Postdoctoral Associate
Interests: LIDAR, Data Fusion, Segmentation, Classifcation, Inverse and Forward Problem, Close Range Photogrammetry
Bio: I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Radiology, Division of Molecular Imaging at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, USA. My current research is on instrumentation for Frequency Domain and Continuous Wave Near Infrared Fluorescence Optical Tomography (transmission and reflectance mode) for lymphatic diseases and metastasis detection. Currently, I am working on near infra-red optical real-time drug distribution monitoring for breast cancer in small animals. By fusing other imaging modalities such as X-ray CT my research interests also cover close range photogrammetry.

Research: Terrain Feature Classification of LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) Data
Details of Research: I am a PhD student in the Computational Vision Group at the School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading. My primary research is concerned with terrain feature classification of LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data. Supervised by Dr. Hong Wei and Dr. James Ferryman, my project involves the two research fields of pattern recognition and remote sensing using LIDAR data.
