Participants : Nancy Bertin, Frédéric Bimbot, Jules Espiau, Jérémy Paret, Emmanuel Vincent.

Duration: 3 years (2012–2014). Partners: Studio Maïa (Musiciens Artistes Interprètes Associés), Imaging Factory

This contract aims at transfering some of the research done within Metiss towards new services provided by Maïa Studio.

More specifically, the main objective is to adapt source separations algorithms and some other advanced signal processing techniques elaborated by Metiss in a user-informed context.

The objective is twofold:

• partial automation of some tasks which the user previously had to accomplish manually

• improved quality of separation and processing by exploiting user inputs and controls

The resulting semi-automated separation and processing will feed an integrated software used for the professional remastering of audiovisual pieces.
