Introduction
The Intelligent Multimedia & Advanced Computing (IMAC) Laboratory fosters innovation at the intersection of intelligent computing and multimedia technologies. We focus on developing cutting-edge solutions by leveraging the power of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) for a wide range of applications.
Our core research directions include:
Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Radio Signal Processing and Wireless Communications: We explore the application of ML and DL techniques to enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems. This includes research on channel modeling, signal detection, interference mitigation, and resource allocation, all powered by intelligent algorithms.
Image and Video Analysis for Multimedia Applications: The lab investigates advanced algorithms for image and video understanding. This encompasses object recognition, image/video segmentation, activity analysis, and content-based retrieval. These techniques can be applied to various domains, including medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, security surveillance, and human-computer interaction.
