该奖项将支持为期两年的美国-日本合作社 V. Ralph Algazi教授， 电气和计算机工程，加州大学， 戴维斯，和教授Yasuhiko安田，工业研究所 东京大学理学院。 其他参与研究的科学家 合作是教授加里福特和托德里德的 加州大学戴维斯分校和两名来自 长冈工业大学新泻（诚教授 Miyahara和Kazumori Kotani）和来自东京的两位科学家 技术大学（教授Tsujii和Yoshinori Sakai）。 研究重点是与高质量图像相关的领域， 视频分析、处理、传输、记录、存储和 显示自然和计算机生成的图像，以及使用 集成数字系统中的高速多媒体网络 环境 高清晰度的商业增长 电视（HDTV）将通过提供 组件和子系统达到新的质量水平， 性能和降低成本。 由于这个项目， 加州大学戴维斯分校和日本两所大学的研究人员希望， 为未来的互动发展一个框架，利用网络 通信与专门设备，并寻求其他 高质量成像和编码的研究课题。

This award will support a two-year U.S.-Japan cooperative research project between Professor V. Ralph Algazi, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, Davis, and Professor Yasuhiko Yasuda, Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo. Other scientists involved in this collaboration are Professors Gary Ford and Todd Reed of the University of California, Davis, and two scientists from the Nagaoka University of Technology, Niigata (Professor Makoto Miyahara and Kazumori Kotani) and two scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Professors Shigeo Tsujii and Yoshinori Sakai). The research focuses on areas pertinent to high quality image and video analysis, processing, transmission, recording, storage, and display for natural and computer generated images, and the use of high speed multimedia networks in an integrated digital system environment. The commercial growth of High Definition Television (HDTV) will support this development by providing components and subsystems at new levels of quality and performance and at decreasing costs. As a result of this project, researchers at UC Davis and the two Japanese universities hope to develop a framework for future interaction, using network communications with specialized equipment, and to pursue other research topics in high quality imaging and coding.
