Recent Research

I apply image processing and image analysis techniques to improve the experience of browsing image collections. I have also worked on algorithms for image enhancement, including compression artifact reduction, approximate reconstruction of the digital information from a printed page, and color adjustment in YCC spaces. My work with audio has included developing technologies for exploring music collections and algorithms for enhancing audio signals.

Short Biography

Ramin Samadani is a Senior Research Scientist at HP labs in the Multimedia Communications and Networking Lab. His current research involves video processing algorithms to improve the presentation and quality of immersive video conferencing and collaboration systems. In the past he developed image processing algorithms applied to display browsing and printing of image collections, such as algorithms to reduce compression artifacts, to resize images while preserving image quality information, and to combine multimedia with continuous GPS location and time information. Prior to HP, at Electronics for Imaging (1994-2000), he worked on color technologies for high quality printers, in engineering and management positions, ending as Director of Imaging Technologies. At Stanford and NASA Ames (1987-1994), he worked on feature extraction and motion analysis algorithms applied to remote sensing applications, as well as on algorithms for color simulation of flat panel displays. He received the MS and PhD in EECS from Stanford University and a BS in Engineering Physics from UC Berkeley
