Présentation
Objectives

The role of audiovisual information in our lives is growing at a phenomenal pace. Smartphones, tablets, augmented reality glasses equipped with increasingly efficient cameras and displays enable us to send and receive information via wireless networks, share content on community sites, and receive geographically marked information.

This research-oriented programme aims to give students research training in topics related to the compression of multimedia content, the transmission of this compressed data through a network, and the development of algorithms and network architectures for fast, reliable, and efficient access to this content.

This study path offers fundamental training in information theory, compression, signal processing for multimedia, networks and content security. A substantial part is devoted to techniques for optimising architectures for the transmission of audiovisual content. Deep learning tools for compressing, transporting and processing multimedia content are also introduced.

Skills

  • Perform a bibliographic search on a research topic.

  • Formalise a research problem.

  • Apply theoretical knowledge in order to offer a solution to a research problem.

  • Design simulations / experiments to highlight the performance of the solution offered.

  • Demonstrate critical thinking about competing solutions and the solution offered.

  • Write a review article in English presenting a bibliography, describing a problem, solutions offered and experiment results, and present this work in English

Career prospects

The programme naturally leads to a thesis in research laboratories that operate in the field of multimedia content processing, compression and distribution. Master's graduates may also work in research and development positions with content providers, telecommunications operators, regulatory bodies, companies that specialise in multimedia engineering, etc.
