IST IT    Image Group      

 

The Image Group of Instituto de Telecomunicações , Instituto Superior Técnico, has the objective of developing technology in the areas of visual information analysis, modeling, processing, manipulation, representation, coding and description. These technologies have assumed growing importance in the past years with the digitization of audiovisual communications and the consideration of new requirements such as interactivity and synthetic and natural content integration.

Due to the importance of the interoperability requirement in the context of audiovisual services, the Image Group has since the very beginning considered as essential the pro-active participation in the most important audiovisual representation standardization body: ISO MPEG. Also the participation in national and international research and development projects is a major target of the group. In fact, the Image Group continuously tries to find the best balance between academic, project and standardization activities.
