Welcome to the webpage of Data Compression Team(DCT)! The motive of the group is to conduct cutting-edge research in signal compression and related areas. Below you'll find the information related to our team, current research directions and openings.
Still laying foundation.. You could be the one here!
Point clouds are essentially a bunch of 3D samples with position and attributes. They are pivotal for AR related applications and offer interesting compression problems. We are currently looking at coding tools to improve the MPEG G-PCC codec. The motivation is to develop algorithms that will be part of the standards.
3D Gaussian splatting has become foundational to novel view synthesis, enabling real-time rendering of complex scenes. However, they generate enormous amounts of data. We are currently looking at approches for efficient compression of Gaussian splats.
We are looking for motivated students to work on the emerging topics of Gaussian Splat Compression and Point Cloud Compression. We have multiple openings for PhD students, MTech students (both research and project work) and project assistants. If you are interested to pursue research with us, please contact by email (bharathv@iisc.ac.in). Kindly share your resume which highlights technical skills, related course work and prior research experience.
Preferred skills: Signal Processing, Programming (C++, Python), Fundamentals of Linear Algebra and Probability
