During the past four years, most of our research activities have been focused on image but also video

and 3-D objects processing for security applications (watermarking and biometrics) and communications

(talking heads, interfaces), with a special emphasis on facial images. More about our work can be found

at http://www.eurecom.fr/~image.

Our research activities are conducted with the backing of several industrials, in particular France

Telecom Research and STMicroelectronics.

For the past few years, we have had a regular scientific collaboration on Fractal Image Coding,

Watermarking and Biometrics with the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), in particular with

Prof. K. Ros
