The Interactive Visual Media Processing (IVMP) lab is a world leader in developing coding, estimation and post-processing technologies for visual media, including images, video and higher dimensional media such as volumetric and plenoptic content.
Current research topics
- High-Throughput JPEG 2000 image coding and communication (https://htj2k.com)
- Scalable image transforms
- Depth, motion and illuminant estimation for video and multi-view arrays
- Plenoptic (light field) compression
- Disparity/Motion based view synthesis
Industry and international standards impact
- FBCOT algorithm, adopted as the foundation of the new High-Throughput JPEG 2000 (HTJ2K) image coding standard (ISO/IEC CD 15444-15)
- Kakadu Software toolkit for JPEG 2000, licensed to more than 400 commercial organisations.
- Highly efficient implementation of HTJ2K integrated to Kakadu Software toolkit and an open-source implementation of HTJ2K (https://github.com/aous72/OpenJPH)
- JPIP technology for robust interactive image and video communication
- Contribution to JPEG Pleno Lightfield standardisation efforts and extensions to JPEG 2000 for coding of discontinuous media – such as depth maps and motion fields.
