Atsalakis Antonis E. - aatsalak

I received my diploma of Electrical & Computer Engineer from Democritus University of Thrace, Greece, in 1999 and the Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering in 2004, from the Democritus University of Thrace, Greece. My main research interests are on image processing, especially on analysis and segmentation of colour documents, neural networks, fuzzy systems.
