Professor Takamichi Miyata
Visiting Scholar
Chiba Institute of Technology
Takamichi Miyata received his Dr. Eng. from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2006 and served as an Assistant Professor there until 2012. He joined Chiba Institute of Technology as an Associate Professor in 2012 and has been a Professor in the Faculty of Advanced Engineering since 2016. He is a visiting academic at Loughborough University from August 2025 to August 2026.
His research spans image processing, computer vision, and networked computing. Core topics include image restoration and enhancement using mathematical optimization and deep learning, no-reference image quality assessment with vision-language models, and AI task offloading and federated learning at the edge. Recent work explores zero-shot approaches using pretrained generative models for tasks such as colorization and inpainting, as well as parameter-efficient network design for image denoising. He also works on cooperative perception for V2X systems. He has published 39 peer-reviewed journal papers, including in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (IF 10.6), and 52 international conference papers, with 12 papers at ICIP and ICASSP. His three most-cited works have received 138, 45, and 43 citations respectively. He received the IEICE Excellent Paper Award in 2014.
At Loughborough University, he is hosted by Professor Andrew Morris in the School of Design and Creative Arts, and collaborates with Professor Ashleigh Filtness in the same school and Dr Yasir Ali from the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering. This collaboration has already produced two co-authored papers accepted at IEEE ICC, a flagship conference in networking.
