Research Interests:

  • videocodec analysis
  • image and video quality metrics
  • video processing
  • machine learning
  • computer vision

Dmitriy Kulikov graduated from the Applied Mathematics department of Moscow State University in 2005. He defended his Ph.D. thesis on computer graphics in 2009. I work in Graphics and Media Lab and have participated in several projects of the lab, including a project with Samsung, Intel, Real networks.

Most of my research focuses on video processing problems: logo and subtitle removal, denoising, brightness&contracts enhancement, color enhancement, etc.

Other topic of my research work was devoted video codec analysis. I am project head for most of MSU Video codec analysis projects since 2005.

PhD Thesis: Методы маскирования искажений в видео потоке после сбоев в работе кодека
