Roger D. Eastman

Department Chair and Associate Professor of Computer Science at Loyola University Maryland, with over 25 years of experience in image matching and registration for medical, robotic and Earth science applications. Professor Eastman has collaborated with NASA-Goddard researchers in Earth science registration on techniques for generalizing and evaluating algorithms, and for robust sub-pixel registration, and with NIST-Gaithersburg researchers on advanced sensors for manufacturing robotics for general assembly. He regularly reviews articles on image registration for the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing and other remote sensing venues.
