Electronics laboratory

Still/moving image coding applications, digital tv and multimedia


The Group is currently participating in the Eureka 625 (VADlS) project for the development of digital television at bitrates up to 10 Mbit/sec (1991-94). The Group is participating in the STRIDE 216 project 5APF0, for developing Multimedia in Education and Culture (1991-93) and in the Esprit Special Action project MINOS (1993-95) for developing Multimedia in tourism. Specific areas of research in this category are progressive and hierarchical image coding, scalable coding and bit-rate reduction for digital and high definition television, standardization of video coding for transmission, storage and multimedia applications, use of agents in man- machine interfaces and fast algorithms for seismic applications.
