Audio description, a form of trans-modal media translation, allows people who are blind or visually impaired access to visually-oriented, socio-cultural, or historical public discourse alike. Although audio description has gained more…
Today a large portion of Internet traffic is video. Over The Top (OTT) service providers offer video streaming services by creating a large distributed cloud network on top of a physical infrastructure owned by multiple entities. Our study…
Exchanging data as character-separated values (CSV) is slow, cumbersome and error-prone. Especially for time-series data, which is common in Activity Recognition, synchronizing several independently recorded sensors is challenging. Adding…
Multimedia information availability has increased dramatically with the advent of mobile devices. but with this availability comes problems of maintaining the security of information that is displayed in public. Many approaches have been…
We investigate the design of a broadcast system where the aim is to maximise the throughput. This task is usually challenging due to the channel variability. Modern satellite communications systems such as DVB-SH and DVB-S2 mainly rely on…
A grid computing system is designed for solving complicated scientific and commercial problems effectively,whereas mobile computing is a traditional distributed system having computing capability with mobility and adopting wireless…
Online video streaming through mobile devices has become extremely popular nowadays. YouTube, for example, reported that the percentage of its traffic streaming to mobile devices has soared from 6% to more than 40% over the past two years.…
The rise of new video modalities like virtual reality or autonomous driving has increased the demand for efficient multi-view video compression methods, both in terms of rate-distortion (R-D) performance and in terms of delay and runtime.…
HTTP video streaming is in wide use to deliver video over the Internet. With HTTP adaptive steaming, a video playback dynamically selects a video stream from a pre-encoded representation based on available bandwidth and viewport (screen)…
We propose a scalable video broadcasting scheme over MIMO-OFDM systems. The scalable video source layers are channel encoded and modulated into independent signal streams, which are then transmitted from the allocated antennas in certain…
In this paper, we consider multi-quality multicast beamforming of a video stream from a multi-antenna base station (BS) to multiple single-antenna users receiving different qualities of the same video stream, via scalable video coding…
Streaming erasure codes encode a source stream to guarantee that each source packet is recovered within a fixed delay at the receiver over a burst-erasure channel. This paper introduces diversity embedded streaming erasure codes (DE-SCo),…
In-person human interaction relies on our spatial perception of each other and our surroundings. Current remote communication tools partially address each of these aspects. Video calls convey real user representations but without spatial…
Video streams usually have to be transcoded to match the characteristics of viewers' devices. Streaming providers have to store numerous transcoded versions of a given video to serve various display devices. Given the fact that viewers'…
The increase in real time ultra-high definition video services presents a challenging issue to current network infrastructures, because of its high bandwidth usage, which saturate network links. The required bandwidth is related to strict…
Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite, Second Generation and its extension DVBS2X are widely used in modern satellite communications, where synchronization relies on physical layer headers, pilot symbols, and optional superframe structures…
In this paper we give network coding algorithms for multi-layered video streaming. The problem is motivated by video broadcasting in a communication network to users with varying demands. We give a polynomial time algorithm for deciding…
In this paper, we present the development of a sensing system with the capability to compute multispectral point clouds in real-time. The proposed multi-eye sensor system effectively registers information from the visible, (long-wave)…
Many emerging multimedia streaming applications involve multiple users communicating under strict latency constraints. In this paper we study streaming codes for a network involving two source nodes, one relay node and a destination node.…
Stereoscopic video has long been the subject of research due to its capacity to deliver immersive three-dimensional content across a wide range of applications, from virtual and augmented reality to advanced human-computer interaction. The…
