The
Learning-Based Multimedia (LBMM) Lab focuses on research projects for a wide
range of multimedia applications. Our current research directions include:
Video Surveillance: The
primary focus is modeling the background and detecting interesting foreground objects
(car/pedestrian/etc.) in video images, specifically for surveillance applications.

Multimedia
Content Management: To address the problem resulting from the explosion
of multimedia content, we are developing a digital multimedia content-management system that facilitates easy,
efficient, and intelligent access to stored multimedia resources.
Information Filtering:
We have been developing a multimodal personalized information system to empower
end-users by enabling them to screen out objectionable information sent via
e-mail, such as pornographic images and junk mail.
The LBMM Lab currently has projects on studying real-time object
recognition features in a camera-phone type of platform. Please
contact Prof. Cheng for more information.
