Dr John McCarthy Research
Fellow
Research
John has a thorough grounding in low-level vision, attention processes
and learning mechanisms in addition to considerable experience in
research methods and statistics. This knowledge is now being applied
to examine image compression algorithms for streaming multimedia
content over packet networks. By adopting a model of human attention
to pick out salient aspects in an image - significant reductions
can be made in the information that needs to transmitted and compressed.
