Dr. Pérez-Carrasco received the degree in telecommunication engineering from the University of Seville, Seville, Spain, in 2004. He started collaborating with the BIP group back in 2003, when he was working on his B.Sc. Thesis under the supervision of BIP leaders Dr. Serrano and Dr. Acha.
After working for some companies, in 2005 Dr. Pérez-Carrasco received two 1-year research grants to implement vision processing algorithms within the Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla in collaboration with the BIP group at the University of Seville. In 2007 he received a PhD grant and he obtained his doctoral degree in March 2011. His Thesis title was “Simulation Tool for Assembling and Analyzing Hierarchical AER Systems for Visual Processing”.
His current research interests include image processing and its medical applications, visual perception and real-time processing. He is author of several papers both in journals and international conferences.
Dr Pérez-Carrasco’s interests cover a wide variety of fields of bioinspired image processing and medical image computing and analysis. Some relevant examples include:
- Implementation and Simulation of Bioinspired Processing Systems using the AER protocol for event transmission and communication.
- Computer-assisted detection/diagnosis of melanocytic skin patterns in dermatoscopic images
- Shape-based part-in-whole retrieval of polygonal meshes for surgical prostheses
As a product of this activity Dr. Pérez has co-authored several articles and patents with other BIP members. Dr. Pérez has also conducted technological transfer of BIP’s technology to the research community through BIP’s industrial partners.
Research Topics
- Segmentation of abdominal organs and tumors
- Classification of multispectral images for diagnosis of skin lesions
- Implementation and Simulation of Bioinspired Processing Systems using the AER protocol for event transmission and communication
- Surgical planning tool for intervention in patients with facial lipodystrophy
- Reflectance-based segmentation using photometric and illumination invariants
