Over the past decade, the utilization of UAVs has witnessed significant growth, owing to their agility, rapid deployment, and maneuverability. In particular, the use of UAV-mounted 360-degree cameras to capture omnidirectional videos has…
The arrival of head-mounted displays (HMDs) to the consumer market requires a novel content format that is, first, adapted to the specificities of immersive displays and, second, that takes into account the current reality of multi-display…
Vehicular communications have attracted more and more attention recently from both industry and academia due to its strong potential to enhance road safety, improve traffic efficiency, and provide rich on-board information and entertainment…
Fiber-To-The-Room is a potential solution to achieve in-premise extended reality collaborations. This paper explores predictive bandwidth allocation and seamless handover schemes over FTTR, showing high-quality immersive experience for…
Immersive televisualization is important both for telepresence and teleoperation, but resolution and fidelity are often limited by communication bandwidth constraints. We propose a lightweight method for foveated compression of immersive…
Holographic representations of data encode information in packets of equal importance that enable progressive recovery. The quality of recovered data improves as more and more packets become available. This progressive recovery of the…
Video content delivery over wireless networks is expected to grow drastically in the coming years. In this paper, we investigate the challenging problem of video over cognitive radio (CR) networks. Although having high potential, this…
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…
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…
Understanding continuous video streams plays a fundamental role in real-time applications including embodied AI and autonomous driving. Unlike offline video understanding, streaming video understanding requires the ability to process video…
This paper proposes a novel Semantic Communication (SemCom) framework for real-time adaptive-bitrate video streaming by integrating Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) within the FFmpeg techniques. This solution addresses the challenges of high…
Video conferencing is a well-established area of communications, which have been studied for decades. Recently this area has received a new impulse due to significantly increased bandwidth of Local and Wide area networks, appearance of…
Volumetric video emerges as a new attractive video paradigm in recent years since it provides an immersive and interactive 3D viewing experience with six degree-of-freedom (DoF). Unlike traditional 2D or panoramic videos, volumetric videos…
Immersive video offers the freedom to navigate inside virtualized environment. Instead of streaming the bulky immersive videos entirely, a viewport (also referred to as field of view, FoV) adaptive streaming is preferred. We often stream…
Although humans have five basic senses, sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, most multimedia systems in current systems only capture two of them, namely, sight and hearing. With the development of the metaverse and related technologies,…
Transfer function design is crucial in volume rendering, as it directly influences the visual representation and interpretation of volumetric data. However, creating effective transfer functions that align with users' visual objectives is…
Fully immersive experiences that tightly integrate 6-DoF visual and auditory interaction are essential for virtual and augmented reality. While such experiences can be achieved through computer-generated content, constructing them directly…
This paper presents an Immersive Telepresence system for Entertainment and Meetings (ITEM). The system aims to provide a radically new video communication experience by seamlessly merging participants into the same virtual space to allow a…
The metaverse has awakened users' expectations of an immersive interaction that fuses the virtual digital world and the physical world across space and time. However, the metaverse is still in its infancy, typically expanding multi-player…
In this paper, we study video streaming over wireless networks with network coding capabilities. We build upon recent work, which demonstrated that network coding can increase throughput over a broadcast medium, by mixing packets from…
