This paper describes a novel system that provides key parameters of HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) sessions to the lower layers of the protocol stack. A non-intrusive traffic profiling solution is proposed that observes packet flows at the…
Stories are a very compelling medium to convey ideas, experiences, social and cultural values. Narrative is a specific manifestation of the story that turns it into knowledge for the audience. In this paper, we propose a machine learning…
Deep domain adaption has emerged as a new learning technique to address the lack of massive amounts of labeled data. Compared to conventional methods, which learn shared feature subspaces or reuse important source instances with shallow…
Despite recent advances in video segmentation, many opportunities remain to improve it using a variety of low and mid-level visual cues. We propose improvements to the leading streaming graph-based hierarchical video segmentation…
Classification of images within the compressed domain offers significant benefits. These benefits include reduced memory and computational requirements of a classification system. This paper proposes two such methods as a proof of concept:…
Transmission of high-definition (HD) video is a promising application for 60 GHz wireless links, since very high transmission rates (up to several Gbit/s) are possible. In particular we consider a sports stadium broadcasting system where…
Video gaming streaming services are growing rapidly due to new services such as passive video streaming, e.g. Twitch.tv, and cloud gaming, e.g. Nvidia Geforce Now. In contrast to traditional video content, gaming content has special…
Today, the technology for video streaming over the Internet is converging towards a paradigm named HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS). HAS comes with two unique flavors. First, by riding on top of HTTP/TCP, it leverages the…
Short internet video clips like vines present a significantly wild distribution compared to traditional video datasets. In this paper, we focus on the problem of unsupervised action classification in wild vines using traditional labeled…
Learning based video compression attracts increasing attention in the past few years. The previous hybrid coding approaches rely on pixel space operations to reduce spatial and temporal redundancy, which may suffer from inaccurate motion…
As video-streaming services have expanded and improved, cloud-based video has evolved into a necessary feature of any successful business for reaching internal and external audiences. In this paper, video streaming over distributed storage…
Human action recognition has become one of the most active field of research in computer vision due to its wide range of applications, like surveillance, medical, industrial environments, smart homes, among others. Recently, deep learning…
We study video-specific autoencoders that allow a human user to explore, edit, and efficiently transmit videos. Prior work has independently looked at these problems (and sub-problems) and proposed different formulations. In this work, we…
Optimizing video inference efficiency has become increasingly important with the growing demand for video analysis in various fields. Some existing methods achieve high efficiency by explicit discard of spatial or temporal information,…
The dissertation proposes the use of a multi-objective optimization framework for designing and selecting among enhanced GOP configurations in video compression standards. The proposed methods achieve fine optimization over a set of general…
Whether a video can be compressed at an extreme compression rate as low as 0.01%? To this end, we achieve the compression rate as 0.02% at some cases by introducing Generative Video Compression (GVC), a new framework that redefines the…
Inferring the quality of streaming video applications is important for Internet service providers, but the fact that most video streams are encrypted makes it difficult to do so. We develop models that infer quality metrics (\ie, startup…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of unpaired video-to-video translation. Given a video in the source domain, we aim to learn the conditional distribution of the corresponding video in the target domain, without seeing any pairs of…
The growth in video Internet traffic and advancements in video attributes such as framerate, resolution, and bit-depth boost the demand to devise a large-scale, highly efficient video encoding environment. This is even more essential for…
Visual analytics have played an increasingly critical role in the Internet of Things, where massive visual signals have to be compressed and fed into machines. But facing such big data and constrained bandwidth capacity, existing…
