Research
Digital Media Technologies staff are involved in a number of exciting research projects. We work within four closely related and often overlapping research groups:
Digital Music Processing
This group studies technologies for analysing and processing music, using a range of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques. This involves processing musical event data in real-time and the processing of digital audio signals. Our research extends to embrace psychoacoustics and music theory/analysis/synthesis subject areas.

Digital Image and Video Processing
This group researches technologies for analysing and processing single images or image sequences (such as video or image slices) to identify, segment and manipulate objects within the images. It also addresses issues arising from the distribution of video over networks.

Animation and Virtual Environments
This group focuses on technologies for the visualisation of and interaction with 3D environments. It specialises in creating virtual environments on a range of platforms and studies ways of enabling interactions between people and virtual objects or scenes.
