An Overview of the Contributions of Jose Manuel Bioucas-Dias to Remote Sensing Image Processing

José Manuel Bioucas-Dias was an outstanding expert in many different IEEE-related areas, including inverse problems in imaging, signal and image processing, pattern recognition, optimization, and remote sensing. He authored or coauthored more than 250 publications, including more than 100 journal papers (66 of which published in IEEE journals) and over 200 peer-reviewed international conference papers and book chapters. His contributions have been extremely influential in many different fields, namely phase estimation and unwrapping, convex optimization and Bayesian inference for imaging inverse problems, with a special emphasis on remote sensing, including synthetic aperture radar (SAR), hyperspectral unmixing, fusion, super-resolution, classification, and segmentation. In this paper, we provide an overview of his outstanding contributions to remote sensing image processing.
