Adaptation of Vision Model to Perceptual Digital Picture Compression

该项目是下一代数字图像压缩技术研究的先锋，使澳大利亚成为这一前沿技术领域无可争议的领导者。它将产生知识产权和软件原型系统，可以很容易地转移到大量的视觉通信和服务应用中，为国家高新技术产业提供和振兴。这些应用包括用于美术的数字摄影、医学成像、用于远程医疗和农村卫生保健系统的图像存档和通信系统、高质量的数字图像、视频和电影体验、预防犯罪、边境控制、安全和监视系统。

This project spearheads research in the next generation digital picture compression technology, placing Australia an undisputed leader in this area of frontier technology. It will generate intellectual property and software prototype systems, which can be readily transferred into a vast number of visual communication and service applications, feeding into and rejuvenating national high-tech industries. These applications include digital photography for fine art, medical imaging, picture archive and communication systems for telemedicine and rural health care systems, high quality digital picture, video and cinematic experience, crime prevention, border control, security and surveillance systems.
