| The explosive growth of multimedia information over the Internet makes it an urgent task to develop automatic systems for intelligent processing of the vast amount of multimedia data. Toward this goal, the Multimedia Laboratory of the Department of Information Engineering is established in July 2001. Our research focuses mostly on intelligent processing of image, video, and computer graphics. Current research topics range from image and video indexing and retrieval, image and video based biometrics, video based character recognition, to 3D graphics. Representative research projects include Chinese News Video Retrieval Engine, Automatic Face Recognition, Video-based Chinese Character Recognition, and 3D Object Reconstruction from Single 2D Line Drawings. | ||
