MERL Research

Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories is the North American arm of the Corporate R&D organization of the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. As an open corporate lab, we collaborate with other research organizations, publish our results and measure our performance by the impact we have on the Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and the world. We conduct application motivated basic research and advanced development in the areas below:

	Digital Communications - Advanced wireless and optical communications, highly reliable machine-to-machine networks, advanced coding/decoding, adaptive signal processing, and smart grid standards and technologies.
	Multimedia - Efficient representation, transmission, security, processing and interaction of multimedia; including video compression, display processing, information coding for security, compressive sensing, and speech processing.
	Data Analytics - Predictive analytics (statistical machine learning, data analysis); Decision analytics (optimization, scheduling and control); and software Infrastructure (distributed software systems, data stream processing).
	Imaging - Detection, classification, and recognition based on machine learning and physical modeling; 3D reconstruction, location, and inference; computational imaging for optimized information capture; Dictionary Learning for signal processing; tracking and multi-modal sensor integration.
	Mechatronics - Advanced control algorithms, nonlinear dynamical systems, system modeling & dynamic analysis, mechatronics design, innovative system concepts, and 3D adaptively-sampled distance fields applications.
	Algorithms - Solution methods for optimization problems involving very large numbers of variables in the areas of information theory & coding; stochastic network utility maximization; sensing, perception, inference & learning.

Each research area page contains a short discussion of the topic area, highlighting MERL’s major efforts and serving as an index into more detailed descriptions of MERL’s recent work. The full history of MERL’s work can be accessed through our Publications pages.
