  Multimedia technologies are now more practical and deployable in real life,
and the algorithms are widely used in various researching areas such as deep
learning, signal processing, haptics, computer vision, robotics, and medical
multimedia processing. This survey provides an overview of multimedia
technologies and robust algorithms in multimedia data processing, medical
multimedia processing, human facial expression tracking and pose recognition,
and multimedia in education and training. This survey will also analyze and
propose a future research direction based on the overview of current robust
algorithms and multimedia technologies. We want to thank the research and
previous work done by the Multimedia Research Centre (MRC), the University of
Alberta, which is the inspiration and starting point for future research.
