Multimedia Lab
The Lab
The team at the Multimedia Lab, which is part of the Software and IT Engineering Department, includes research professors and students who conduct research related to multimedia: computer graphics, human-computer interaction, digital signal processing of images and videos, mobile multimedia systems, and medical imaging.
Areas of research
Our objectives are to develop innovative solutions aimed at enhancing knowledge and to work in collaboration with our industrial partners to produce concrete advances with real-world applications in four main areas of research:
- Computer graphics: Realistic image synthesis; computer animation; simulation of natural phenomena.
- Human-computer interaction: User interfaces; information visualization; haptics; interaction design.
- Mobile multimedia systems: Video compression and transcoding; architecture of multimedia systems; multimedia applications.
- Medical imaging: Segmentation, fusion and 3D reconstruction; clinical application in cardiology.
