360-degree video streaming provides users with immersive experience by letting users determine their field-of-views (FoVs) in real time. To enhance the users' quality of experience (QoE) given their limited bandwidth, recent works have…
Proactive tile-based virtual reality (VR) video streaming employs the viewpoint of a user to predict the tiles to be requested, renders and delivers the predicted tiles before playback. Recently, it has been found that the identity and…
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…
In conventional HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS), a video source is encoded at multiple levels of constant bitrate representations, and a client makes its representation selections according to the measured network bandwidth. While…
Wirelessly streaming high quality 360 degree videos is still a challenging problem. When there are many users watching different 360 degree videos and competing for the computing and communication resources, the streaming algorithm at hand…
Streaming rendered content is an attractive way to bring high-quality graphics to billions of mobile devices that do not have sufficient rendering power. Existing solutions render content on a server at a fixed frame rate, typically 30 or…
Virtual reality (VR) is making waves around the world recently. However, traditional video streaming is not suitable for VR video because of the huge size and view switch requirements of VR videos. Since the view of each user is limited, it…
Adaptive 360{\deg} video streaming for teleoperation faces two coupled challenges: viewport prediction under uncertain gaze patterns and bitrate adaptation over fluctuating wireless channels. While Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods…
The delivery and display of 360-degree videos on Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) presents many technical challenges. 360-degree videos are ultra high resolution spherical videos, which contain an omnidirectional view of the scene. However only…
We study an interactive live streaming scenario where multiple peers pull streams of the same free viewpoint video that are synchronized in time but not necessarily in view. In free viewpoint video, each user can periodically select a…
