Anthony Vetro joined MERL in 1996, where he is currently Group Manager of the Multimedia teams. He received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY, and his research interests are related to the encoding and transport of multimedia content. He has published a number of papers in these areas and has been an active participant in MPEG standards for several years. Dr. Vetro has directly contributed to the transfer/development of several technologies to Mitsubishi products, including MPEG-2/4 transcoding for surveillance, post-filtering for artifact reduction and video down-decoding for a low-cost DTV receiver chip.
