Jong-Sen Lee (S'66-M'69-SM'91-F'97) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan, in 1963, and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in 1965 and 1969, respectively.
Since then, he has been with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, DC, where he is presently the head of the Image Science Section, Remote Sensing Division. He is also the principal investigator for several remote sensing programs on polarimetric synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR. He developed several speckle filtering algorithms that have been implemented in many GI'S, such as ERDAS, PCI, ENVI, etc. His research covers a wide spectrum of areas from control theory, operation research, and radiative transfer, to SAR and polarimetric SAR image processing. He has investigated SAR image segmentation, inverse SAR, polarimetric SAR imagery statistics and speckle filtering, and terrain/target classification and applications. His current research interests are in the area of multifrequency polarimetric decomposition, terrain classification, scattering signature modeling, SAR interferometry, and SAR and HSI data fusion. He has published more than 40 papers in refereed journals and more than 100 papers in conference proceedings, and has chaired and organized many sessions in international conferences.
