- Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
Yes, I have been - What do you think makes MPEG special?
It was a very active group working on reference models, which is a way to promote verifiable research, and also it is the perfect group for technology transfer from research in visual communications to the industry. - What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
MPEG has been the enabler for making TV and HDTV digital and expanded further the possibilities of many other kinds of visual communications - Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
As an academic researcher, the MPEG meeting are allowing to access front-end research and the use of verification models and quality and compliance tests. However, academics should remain academics and the time devoted to pure speculative research and the time devoted to standardization groups has to be well balanced. - Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
I started my engineer career and research career in the kick-off meeting of a European research project on digital TV named IVICO, led by Leonardo. MPEG appeared after that. MPEG has had a strong influence on my research field. Moreover, the challenges raised in image compression, led to developments which have been at the origin of many other research topics (image analysis, medical imaging …). - Are you happy with MPEG standards?
Of course, I like them! - Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
Yes - What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
Maybe a grand challenge for the future of image communications, is trusted distributed learning (based on deep learning) on video flows for many different kinds of applications
