Technical University Cluj-Napoca
The Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (TUCN) is one of the most prestigious higher education institutions in Romania and dates back to 1920. Study programs in Automation and in Computer Science were started since 1977. Since its birth, the Faculty of Automation and Computer Science has earned an international reputation for its high academic standards and excellence in research. At present, the faculty has over 120 academic staff organized in three departments (Computer Science, Control Engineering and Mathematics), three bachelor programs, eight master programs and two PhD programs in which study about 2000 students. The Computer Science Department approaches a wide range of research topics which addresses fundamental issues in Computer Science and Information Technology like: design and analysis of algorithms, data communications, computer vision and image processing, distributed systems, computer graphics. The Department’s staff is involved in national and international research grants and contracts in cooperation with other universities or industrial partners.

Politehnica University Bucharest
University POLITEHNICA Bucharest (UPB) is the oldest and most prestigious engineering school in Romania. It was founded in 1818 by the Prince’s Edict of Voda Caragea as the School of Border Engineers led by Gheorghe Lazăr. In 1920 the name was changed to POLITEHNICA Bucharest, in 1948 it became the Polytechnic Institute Bucharest, and finally in 1992 the university senate decided to adopt the current name. UPB consists in 15 faculties with around 25,000 students and 1,200 teaching staff, supporting fundamental and applied research in 47 advanced research centres with 71 laboratories at high standards. UPB is active member in over 20 international academic organizations and has collaborative agreements with about 250 European, American, Asian and African universities.
UPB participates in this project via the Optoelectronics Research Centre and Laboratory for Holographic Imaging and Processing from faculties of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ETTI) and respectively, of Applied Sciences (FSA). Their area of research includes quantum electronics and optical technologies in cooperation with research institutes and universities from Romania as well as from abroad; they also collaborate with industrial partners through the technology transfer centre of UPB. The expertise of team members in holography, image processing, image compression will contribute at this project to digitize complex holograms and to compress them using wavelet transform.
