Chair

Join us at the prestigious Ferienakademie 2024 (22.09.2024 – 04.10.2024) located in the picturesque Sarntal Alps of South Tirol. This comprehensive course provides an in-depth overview of classical image and video processing algorithms, a foundational understanding of deep learning principles, and a detailed exploration of practical applications.

For various research projects at the interface between image/video signal processing and machine learning, the Chair of Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing is looking for Research Assistants (m/f/d) with the possibility to do a PhD. You can find the job ad here.

On Nov. 10th, the chair conducted an excursion to the company Dallmeier electronic in Regensburg, which develops and manufactures video-based surveillance system. The excursion was completed by a visit of the Hofbräuhaus Regensburg and a guided city tour.

In this episode of "Knowledge in 1 minute" - videos on TikTok about fascinating fields at FAU - Annika Briegleb explains basic characteristics of audio signals in the context of speech enhancement as it can be found in smartphones and hearing aids. Which signals are easy to suppress and which not? F...

On Oct. 21 from 5 to 12pm, the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften took place in the metropolitan region of Erlangen-Nuremberg-Fuerth. The LMS was also present at this event with two demonstrations. In one of them, the visitors could take place in a “virtual barber shop” where the acoustic illusion of a ...

This year our machine learning team participated in the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2023 with two conference papers and one workshop paper. Our first paper is on "Out-of-Distribution Detection for Monocular Depth Estimation". The paper presents an approach for estimating epist...

Congratulations to Dat Thanh Nguyen for his journal publication entitled "Lossless Point Cloud Geometry and Attribute Compression Using a Learned Conditional Probability Model".

On October 05 and 06, 2023, after a four-year break, the "Igel" seminar finally took place again. We heard interesting talks about research topics from staff members of the two chairs LMS and idc. The talks gave insights into different topics from signal processing and digitial communications, fro...

The results of the exam "Introduction to Deep Learning" from August 3, 2023 are now available on Campo. Examination records can be inspected in room 06.025 (Cauerstr. 7) on the following dates: Wednesday, September 20, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Friday, September 22, 2023 at 12:00 p.m.

We are happy to announce that our colleagues Christian Herglotz, Matthias Kränzler, Robert Schober and André Kaup published an article in the  Magazine of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. The paper is entitled "Sweet Streams are Made of This: The System Engineer’s View on Energy Efficiency in ...

What is the relation between recycling and image processing? In the first episode of 1 Minute Wissen on the FAU's TikTok channel, Frank Sippel explains multispectral camera arrays, i.e. cameras that record more than just the usual three color channels red, green, and blue. Such a camera array, which...

For our research group on "Machine Learning", we are searching for a new PhD student with the topic of deep generative models and uncertainty estimation.

We are proud to announce that our research group "Energy Efficiency Video Experts" (EEVE), which is investigating the energy consumption of video communication technologies, won the Sustainability Award of the FAU! The award was presented to our colleagues Lena Eichermüller, Geetha Ramasubbu, Matthi...

For good teaching in the winter term 2022/2023, the LMS received an award from the students' evaluation.

During the shooting of "2 Minuten Wissen", Corinna Russow of the RRZE inspected the key players of the series to write a report on the backgrounds of "2 Minuten Wissen". With Julia Will as the main organizer, there are already two videos presenting the research at the LMS: Recycling using multispect...

What is the relation between video streaming and climate change? This episode of 2 Minuten Wissen (in German) is about global carbon emissions caused by online video applications. We explain reasons and ideas on how to reduce these emissions.
