Anna
Cavender Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington - Anna's main interests are in HCI (Human Computer Interaction). Her role is empirically investigating the effects of distortion on the intelligibility of sign language videos. |

 |
Frank Ciaramello Electrical & Computer Engineering, Cornell University - Frank is working to develop an objective metric for measuring the intelligibility of compressed ASL video. This involves techniques to isolate the face and hand pixels of a video and also identify frames in the video that contain portions of a sign. The metric can be used in compression algorithms to maximize the intelligibility of the conversation under severe bandwidth constraints. |

Tressa Johnson
Library and Information Science, University of Washington - Tressa is interested in the impact of mobile technology on Deaf society. |

Jessica J. Tran
Electrical Engineering, University of Washington |
 |
Rahul Vanam Electrical Engineering, University of Washington - Rahul is interested in low bitrate video coding. He is performing Rate-Distortion-Complexity (R-D-C) analysis of H.264 encoder and looking at approaches for selecting optimal encoding parameters for R-D-C optimization. |
