Image Processing:

  • Video motion analysis
  • Spatiotemporal segmentation of image sequences (based on color and motion)
  • Face detection and liptracking , video example
  • Compression Motion JPEG2000
  • Mathematical Tools:

  • statistical methods: Markov random fields (MRF), Bayesian estimation, entropic thresholding
  • spatiotemporal multiresolution: 3-D low-pass pyramids, wavelets
  • logarithmic image processing (LIP model), color transforms, quaternions
  • Applications:

  • embedded vision : telesurveillance
  • audiovisual telecommunication: videophony, videoconference
  • IHM and multimedia applications
  • Remote laboratories for e-learning in electrical engineerng: LaboREM
  • Real-time Implementations:

  • distributed software architectures: JAVA
  • programmable devices: DSP, FPGA
  • CMOS VLSI circuits (ASIC)
  • programmable video processors and parallel machines (SIMD, MIMD).
