Welcome to the Image and Video Processing Laboratory in the EECS Department at Northwestern University. The lab's objective is to generate cutting-edge research results in the fields of multimedia signal processing, multimedia communications, and computer vision.
    Within these fields we have been working in a variety of problems (e.g., recovery, compression, segmentation, and speech and speaker recognition) and applications areas (e.g., medical, multi-spectral, and astronomical image processing). We are also very excited about our recent work in DNA-based digital signal processing and molecular image processing. The IVPL also has extensive collaborations with Prof. Ying Wu's research lab in a variety of these theoretic and applications areas.
    Within our web pages, you should find descriptions of our various research interests as well as a complete list of publications. Additionally, we are providing links to the individual staff pages and a variety of methods to contact us. Finally, as a service to the research community, we maintain a list of upcoming conferences, seminars, and current calls for papers.

Advances in Multimedia is aimed at presenting comprehensive coverage of the field of multimedia. The journal covers research and developments in multimedia technology and applications, including but not limited to: compression, storage, networking, communication, retrieval, algorithms, architectures, software design, multimedia signal processing, multi-modality devices/systems, and circuits.
