Visual Communication Research Group, directed by Dr. Yun He, activates in the area of moving picture coding in the world. Currently, the researches are carried on three directions, moving picture coding theories and methodologies, multi view moving picture coding and processing, and moving picture codec VLSI structures. The group contributes many high-leveled scientific papers, such as in IEEE Transactions and in international conferences, creation patents, some are adopted by international and national moving picture coding standards and reference software associated.

The Group has completed successfully several video communication systems, which include video phone system, video conference system, digital TV system, as well as internet video communication systems.
