The Multimedia and Digital Signal Processing research line studies the processes and aspects related to the manipulation, processing, representation, coding, transmission and evaluation of multimedia content and digital signals, having an emphasis on images and videos. With the increasing proliferation of digital content in the form of text, sound, image and video, the development of computer systems that efficiently handle these types of information is increasingly important. In this context, the line of research in Multimedia aims to investigate the development of multimedia algorithms, architectures and digital signal processing, as well as the mechanisms of representation, modeling and multimedia analysis with a focus on the best user experience. Research topics in this research line include: image coding; encoding 2D, 3D videos and other representations; multimedia data compression algorithms and standards; architectures and integrated circuits for multimedia processing; transmission and delivery of multimedia content; development of components for digital television systems; user experience and human-computer interaction.
