Rate My Professor Tieling Chen

Tieling Chen is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics at the University of South Carolina Aiken, where he also serves as the Graduate Advisor for the Master of Computer and Information Science program. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from The University of Western Ontario in 2001. Chen's research focuses on color model theory, digital color image processing, elementary number theory, and integral inequalities. His laboratory supports undergraduate research in mathematics and color processing.

Chen has authored or co-authored over 30 publications, with contributions spanning conferences and journals in imaging science and mathematics. Key publications include 'Critiques on the HSI Color Model and a Solution to Its Gamut Problem' (2025), 'The One-Cushion Escape from Snooker in a Circular Table' (2024), 'Hue-preserving color enhancement under a cylindrical model without geometric deformation of the RGB color cube' (2023), 'Similarity between two color areas' (2022), 'A measurement of the overall vividness of a color image based on RGB color model' (2022), 'Tone correction through a spherical color model' (2016), 'Two-term Egyptian fractions' (2013), 'A spherical perceptual color model' (2013), 'Attributes of color represented by a spherical model' (2013), 'Detail Preserving Sorted Difference Filter' (2017), and 'A Wavelet Transform Based Method for Road Centerline Extraction from High-Resolution Satellite Imagery' (2004). These works address topics such as perceptual color models, tone correction, fraction decompositions, and image processing techniques, presented at SPIE conferences and published in outlets like the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology and the International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics. Chen received University of South Carolina Aiken Research Initiatives for Summer Engagement (RISE) funding for his project 'Color Distribution Comparison and its Applications.' He mentors undergraduate students, including guiding a senior's research on Egyptian fractions featured in a 2024 university news release.
