CCA/NSERC Grant

Ling Guan, Canada Research Chair in Multimedia and Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Bruce Elder, Professor in the School of Image Arts, have been awarded a grant from the joint Canada Council for the Arts and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada New Media Initiative.

They were awarded $169,500 from NSERC and $60,000 from the Canada Council for the Arts for the three year project entitled "A Cagean approach to Image Processing for Film and Video: Applying Machine Learning to Measuring Image Similarity, to Constrain the Random Selection of Image Processing Methods". The project involves developing an expert system to be used by film- and video-makers that incorporate some of John Cage's ideals for composition that will have applications throughout the "image industry".
