| EPFL is one of the two Federal Institutes of Technology in Switzerland with main emphasis on teaching
and research in Engineering Sciences and Technologies. EPFL participation to this project is from two research
teams headed by Prof.Touradj Ebrahimi and Prof. Sabine Suesstrunk respectively. The teams are active in research and
teaching in the field of visual information processing and coding. Prof. Ebrahimi’s team is made of 3 post-doc
researchers, 6 graduate researchers pursuing PhD theses, and between 5 to 10 undergraduate students. The research
topics span through three highly interconnected disciplines of imaging, namely, compression, processing, and
security. The team is very active in MPEG and JPEG standardisation activities, where it contributes both at the
technical and leadership levels. Prof. Suesstrunk’s team is made of 1 post-doc researcher and 5 graduate researchers
pursuing PhD theses. The team is primarily concerned with the capture, analysis and reproduction of natural color
images.
