Research focus of the institute's fields of expertise

Applied media systems

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gerald Schuller | Head of Group

Research interests are audio coding, low-delay audio source separation, and music information retrieval (MIR) for signal analysis and modeling, for example for the recognition of musical instruments and the modeling and synthesis of their sounds. The approaches are machine learning for audio and music processing and probabilistic optimization algorithms.

Audiovisual technology

Dr.-Ing. Steve Göring | Head of Group, temporary

The research area in the group covers the entire chain from production, processing, transmission and presentation to perception and personal experience. Speech, audio and video systems and services are investigated. Special attention is paid to the convergence of media in IP-based networks with respect to higher-quality multimedia services.

Electronic Media Technology

Dr.-Ing. Stephan Werner| Head of Group, temporary

The focus is on research and development of technologies in the area of spatial audio systems and in the area of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) using machine learning methods. The two orientations of the field are systems and methods in the area of Auditory Augmented Reality (Audio-AR) and in the area of AI-based metadata enrichment of audio databases. The approach here is an interaction between technology and perceptual impact.
