The multimedia lab aims to revamp how visual content is experienced in the new era of video consumption. Our research has made profound contributions to video coding standards used in products such as television. We take a comprehensive approach, not only refining traditional methods but also pushing the boundaries to enhance visual processing for emerging technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).
A key aspect of our work is improving how machines process video. Recognizing that computers and humans perceive visual information differently, we’re innovating video representation and compression techniques to better suit the needs of computer vision systems. Our focus extends beyond visual fidelity to equipping machines with the essential features for complex visual computing tasks.
