The  Image Processing and Multimedia Laboratory of DUTH currently consists of faculty members, graduate students and supporting technical personnel. Its members teach courses in the areas of  Digital Image Processing, Data Compression, Digital Signal Processing and Image Coding. Their current research interests are on image compression, pattern and optical character recognition, image communication, multimedia image data bases and digital signal processing. Recently they have published papers in the areas of Image processing and multimedia technologies.

They have been actively involved in the definition, design and implementation of the CCITT/ISO (JBIG, JPEG, MPEG etc.), standards for coding, storage and retrieval of images (color & bilevel), where they have six international patents. They are interested in the implementation of multimedia techniques either with fast software or with special purpose devices.
