The Video and Image Processing (VIP) Laboratory
Video cameras are proliferating at an astonishing rate in recent years. It is predicted that the number of cameras the world will see in 2030 is approximately 13 billion. The huge amount of visual data can be leveraged in a wide range of
existing and future applications ranging from mobile video sharing, body-worn cameras, to city
surveillance and autonomous vehicles. Recent advances in deep learning have achieved great
success in computer vision tasks. The Video and Image Processing Lab currently focuses on deep learning-based image and video compression, video prediction and generation, as well as other visual recognition tasks. The tools we are using involve but are not limited to: convolutional neural network (CNN), generative
adversarial network (GAN), and recurrent neural networks (RNN). More details can be found in the following:
