Short Biography:

Toni Rama received a degree in telecommunication engineering from the Telecommunication School of the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain, in 2002, and nowadays he is doing a Ph.D at the AudioVisual Technologies Group at the Telecommunication School of the Technical University of Catalonia .

He wrote his Diploma Thesis at the image processing department (A7) of the Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt, Germany. The main topic of his thesis was the development and the implementation of a robust shot detection algorithm using an edge-based approach. After finishing his studies, he worked in Germany for one year in PROKENT AG, a service company involved in the development and production of automatic machines for the reverse vending of empties, where he developed and implemented algorithms for pattern classification and recognition.

He has also been working as project manager of different audiovisual projects for companies such as Globecast S.A., Mediapro and Canal Satelite Digital.

Nowadays he collaborates as a teacher in the Centre de la Imatge i la Tecnologia Multimedia (CITM) in Terrassa where he teaches the courses "Video Systems" and "Video Systems and Digital Image Processing" and at the private university of La Salle where he teaches the course "Computer Architecture".
