TIE Project: Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Digital Video and Media Research

电视的模拟技术正在向最近批准的FCC高清晰度电视数字标准转变。虽然数字视频现在已经开始实施，但有必要进行研究以增强和扩大目前的能力。由于它是许多新通信技术的重要组成部分，其他图像传输技术也同样受到从模拟到数字过渡的影响。为了确定一个多所大学的工业/大学合作研究中心（I/IRCR）的可行性和可行性，以研究数字视频和媒体研究，以解决这一广泛的领域，两项计划拨款已获得批准。最初一个是授予伦斯勒理工学院（RPI）的I/UCRC数字视频（EEC 9615143）。随后，新泽西理工学院（NJIT）和普林斯顿大学（EEC-9711581）获得了一笔计划拨款，将该中心的研究扩展到数字视频和媒体研究。这个新的多大学I/UCRC数字视频和媒体研究符合I/UCRC项目的标准。该中心的研究范围将包括数字视频和媒体系统的创造、设计、交付、利用和制造。研究领域将涉及数字图像、视频和音频处理；通信——无线和有线；网络和高速交换；媒体与多媒体的创作与整合；数字存档和检索；超大规模集成电路架构和制造。

ABSTRACTEEC-9812706PearlmanThe analog technology of television is in the process of changing to the recently approved FCC High Definition Television Standard which is digital. Although digital video is now beginning to be implemented, research is necessary to enhance and broaden the current capability. Since it is a significant and integral part of the many new communication technologies, other image transmission technologies are being similarly impacted by the transition from analog to digital. To determine the feasibility and viability of a multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/IRCR) for Digital Video and Media Research to address this broad area, two planning grants were awarded. Initially one was awarded to Rensselaer Polytechnics Institute (RPI) for an I/UCRC for Digital Video (EEC 9615143). Subsequently a planning grant was awarded to the New Jersey Institute of technology (NJIT) and Princeton University (EEC-9711581) expanding the Center's research to Digital Video and Media Research.This new multi-university I/UCRC for Digital Video and Media Research meets the criteria for the I/UCRC program. The scope of research of this center will encompass the creation, design, delivery, utilization, and fabrication of digital video and media systems. Areas of research will address digital image, video and audio processing; communications-wireless and cable; networking and high speed switching; creation and integration of media and multimedia; digital archiving and retrieval; and VLSI architectures and fabrication.
