Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory

The Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory (CVML) was founded in 1989 by Prof. Thierry Pun. It is headed by Profs. Thierry Pun, Sviatoslav Voloshynovskiy and Stéphane Marchand-Maillet. The laboratory currently comprises about 20 researchers at various academic levels (research assistant, post-doc, assistant-, associate- and full- professor). The laboratory carries out research in computer vision, multimedia processing, management and security, as well as human-machine interaction. Research applies to visual media such as images and videos, to sounds, and to physiological signals. Research results are described in about 300 refereed scientific publications and in 8 patents.
The laboratory is divided into three research groups:

• Stochastic information processing (SIP): watermarking, stochastic image processing, information theory;
  

• Multimedia information retrieval (VIPER): multimedia data analysis, indexing, retrieval, exploration;
  
• Multimodal interaction (MMI): emotions analysis, brain-computer interaction, multimodal human-computer interaction.
