Multimedia Security and Signal Processing are gaining widespread acceptance in desktop computing and telecommunication applications due to their high performance, lower cost, and higher level of integration. They allow computer-based systems to securely deliver information to the user in ways other than the traditional methods of text. The new forms of information delivery include high-resolution images, realistic 2D and 3D graphics, high-quality multi-channel audio and real-time video. By taking advantage of this new information delivery mechanism, with a continuing improvement in cost/performance ratios, many new applications are emerging in various fields. Digital video, video teleconferencing, machine vision, digital consumer electronics and content-based digital library are a few such examples. Furthermore, a modern communications system must be able to register, transfer and present a mixture of different types of data such as text, graphics, sound, speech, music, images and video.
The main goal of multimedia security and signal processing is concerned with the processing of these data in an effective, secure, and user-friendly manner. This applies to all segments of multimedia and communication systems, i.e. in applications concerned with recordings and storage, transmission of the signals, security encryption of the data, reducing the side effects of transmission impairments and in man–machine communications. To support these applications, a new generation of multimedia security and signal processing techniques is needed. The global and national requirement for emerging multimedia applications provides a strong motivation for the Centre for Multimedia Security & Signal Processing (CMSSP).
The research activities in CMSSP take into account the direction of next-generation technologies which leverages on existing technologies. Five Research Groups have been formed under CMSSP:

  1. Cryptography and Information Security

  2. Signal Processing

  3. Microwave Remote Sensing

  4. Image and Video Processing

  5. Bio-Instrumentation
