Lab Introduction

We are working on various image and video processing subjects required in fundamentals and applications in media and content technology such as sensing, coding, processing, display, and their application systems. We are trying to explore new research fields and apply results to real use as well. Some of our research results were made into applications in public use.

Some of our on-going research topics are listed below:
-Multimedia Life Log, especially Multimedia Food Log
-Multimedia visualization on the fly
-Multimedia Processing of Manga (Comics)
-3D imaging and processing
-HDR Imaging
-Application systems
