COGNITUS at SMPTE UK Section meeting at BBC R&D

The COGNITUS project was presented at the World Leading Collaborative Research event organized by the SMPTE UK Section on 28th April 2016 at the BBC R&D labs in London.

The objective of the event was to see and hear what the BBC, with a commitment to be a center of excellence for research on broadcast and audio visual technologies, have been working on and how they are seeing the future developments in the industry. The event included a series of short presentations and some demonstrations on a number of recent highlights from the BBC’s wide ranging research portfolio. The session was a sellout with a very enthusiastic audience of technical experts.
