Overview of MSP Group
Profile of the MSP Group
The core disciplines of the MSP group are signal processing, information theory, and cryptography. We develop and apply theories and algorithms of these disciplines to a variety of existing and emerging economic-societal challenges of practical interest. Telecommunications, health and well-being and consumer electronics are typical application domains which serve as inspiration and valorization context for our research. Many of our challenges revolve around multimedia signals, including digital speech, audio, images, and video. Courses that we teach reflect our core disciplines, and involves courses such as digital signal processing, stochastic processes, speech and audio processing, and information theory. The MSP group is actively involved in many national and international research projects.
Lab Structure Research and education in the MSP group is organized in three (partially overlapping) research labs:
History The foundation for signal processing and information theory was laid back in 1952 when the first course on Information Theory was lectured. Over the years, the Information and Communication Theory (ICT) group deepened its knowledge in this field, and expanded to related disciplines (such as pattern recognition) and applications (such as multimedia, bioinformatics). To improve the internal coherency and the external profile, the ICT group continued as two new groups early 2010, namely the multimedia signal processing group and the pattern recognition and bioinformatics group. Both groups are part of the Department of Intelligent Systems, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science of the Delft University of Technology.
