HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has emerged as a prevalent approach for over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services due to its ability to deliver a seamless user experience. A fundamental component of HAS is the bitrate ladder, which…
The growing popularity of virtual and augmented reality communications and 360{\deg} video streaming is moving video communication systems into much more dynamic and resource-limited operating settings. The enormous data volume of 360{\deg}…
In HTTP Adaptive Streaming, video content is conventionally encoded by adapting its spatial resolution and quantization level to best match the prevailing network state and display characteristics. It is well known that the traditional…
A key challenge of 360$^\circ$ VR video streaming is ensuring high quality with limited network bandwidth. Currently, most studies focus on tile-based adaptive bitrate streaming to reduce bandwidth consumption, where resources in network…
Pareto-front optimization is crucial for addressing the multi-objective challenges in video streaming, enabling the identification of optimal trade-offs between conflicting goals such as bitrate, video quality, and decoding complexity. This…
In the 360-degree immersive video, a user only views a part of the entire raw video frame based on her viewing direction. However, today's 360-degree video players always fetch the entire panoramic view regardless of users' head movement,…
360-degree video becomes increasingly popular among users. In the current network bandwidth, serving high resolution 360 degree video to users is quite difficult. Most of the work has been devoted to the prediction of user viewports or…
One of the challenges faced by many video providers is the heterogeneity of network specifications, user requirements, and content compression performance. The universal solution of a fixed bitrate ladder is inadequate in ensuring a high…
Traditional per-title encoding schemes aim to optimize encoding resolutions to deliver the highest perceptual quality for each representation. However, keeping the encoding time within an acceptable threshold for a smooth user experience is…
Adaptive video streaming relies on the construction of efficient bitrate ladders to deliver the best possible visual quality to viewers under bandwidth constraints. The traditional method of content dependent bitrate ladder selection…
The 360-degree video allows users to enjoy the whole scene by interactively switching viewports. However, the huge data volume of the 360-degree video limits its remote applications via network. To provide high quality of experience (QoE)…
Adaptive streaming addresses the increasing and heterogenous demand of multimedia content over the Internet by offering several encoded versions for each video sequence. Each version (or representation) has a different resolution and bit…
We consider an interactive multiview video streaming (IMVS) system where clients select their preferred viewpoint in a given navigation window. To provide high quality IMVS, many high quality views should be transmitted to the clients.…
Video service providers need their delivery systems to be able to adapt to network conditions, user preferences, display settings, and other factors. HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) offers dynamic switching between different video…
For $360^{\circ}$ video streaming, FoV-adaptive coding that allocates more bits for the predicted user's field of view (FoV) is an effective way to maximize the rendered video quality under the limited bandwidth. We develop a low-latency…
Adaptive streaming of segmented video over HTTP typically relies on a predefined set of bitrate-resolution pairs, known as a bitrate ladder. However, fixed ladders often overlook variations in content and decoding complexities, leading to…
Adaptive video streaming requires efficient bitrate ladder construction to meet heterogeneous network conditions and end-user demands. Per-title optimized encoding typically traverses numerous encoding parameters to search the…
Virtual reality has been gaining popularity in recent years caused by the proliferation of affordable consumer-grade devices such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Samsung VR. Amongst the various VR applications, 360{\deg} video streaming is…
