User experience of video streaming could be greatly improved by selecting a high-yet-sustainable initial video bitrate, and it is therefore critical to accurately predict throughput before a video session starts. Inspired by previous…
This paper aims to reduce the prebuffering requirements, while maintaining continuity, for video streaming. Current approaches do this by making use of adaptive media playout (AMP) to reduce the playout rate. However, this introduces…
Autonomous driving requires the model to perceive the environment and (re)act within a low latency for safety. While past works ignore the inevitable changes in the environment after processing, streaming perception is proposed to jointly…
