Dr. Emmett Ientilucci is a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). He works in the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing (DIRS) group. He has degrees in optics and imaging science. Prior to his faculty position, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Intelligence Community.
His recent research interests include the incorporation of physics based (target) modeling into structured hybrid hyperspectral sub-pixel detection algorithms with the addition of a geometric infeasibility metric. In general, Dr. Ientilucci’s interests are in geometric and stochastic target detection as well as improvements to the physics based modeling approach as it pertains to the development of target spaces. He has also published on the impact endmember selection has on target detection, spectral variability, and general hyperspectral algorithm development.
Dr. Ientilucci has taught (and teaches) courses and labs in radiometry, remote sensing, geometrical optics, photo science, dimensional metrology, measurement and analysis, and computer techniques for technicians, both at RIT and Monroe Community College. In addition to his own work, he has managed teams of graduate students in imaging and computer science on their work, as it relates to specific government and commercial contracts. He has been thesis adviser for 24 undergraduate and graduate imaging science students and has over 35 publications in the fields of imaging and remote sensing. He has served as referee on seven scientific journals and is working on a book entitled, “Fundamental Principles of Radiometry”.
