The explosive growth of multimedia information over the Internet and sensors network makes it an urgent task to develop automatic systems for intelligent processing of the vast amount of multimedia and multisource data. Toward this goal, multimedia research in the Department of Information Engineering focuses mostly on intelligent processing of image, video, and computer graphics. Current research topics range from face analysis, visual surveillance, image and video search, image and video editing to 3D graphics. Representative research projects include automatic face recognition, deep learning, crowd analysis, camera network, web image search and re-ranking, and 3D bbject reconstruction from single 2D line drawings.
