Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia

Research activities of the department are mainly focused on general computer graphics algorithms, rendering, processing and recognition of speech signals, animation in three-dimensional space, modern methods of interaction in three-dimensional space, image processing, and applications. The main research topics from the above activities are:

• Computer graphics algorithms accelerated using DSP and FPGA,
• perceptually-based robust feature extraction for speech and speaker recognition
• very low bit rate coding
• realistic rendering of complex scenes and volume rendering,
• automatic determination of speech units
• large scale speech database collection
• animation of articulated structures, kinematics and dynamics,
• medical data processing and visualization and human body modeling reconstruction from VH data sets,
• parallel rendering implementation of signal processing and graphics algorithms.

The majority of courses consists of lectures supplemented with projects and laboratory lessons. The knowledge that students gain during the lectures is further developed in the laboratory lessons by the practical experience and then practiced in the individually assigned projects and/or team projects. Most of the laboratory lesson assignments and projects are platform-independent.

The Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia also organize workshops of students' projects focusing on computer vision, sound and image processing, computer graphics and human-computer interfaces. The goal of the workshop is to present the results of both student and team projects, to meet and discuss the issue and making contacts for cooperation.

The list of actual and passed seminars organized by the Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia is here.
