Given the significant industrial growth of demand for virtual reality (VR), 360{\deg} video streaming is one of the most important VR applications that require cost-optimal solutions to achieve widespread proliferation of VR technology.…
The streaming of 360$^\circ$ videos is one of the most bandwidth-demanding virtual reality (VR) applications, as the video must be encoded in ultra-high resolution to ensure an immersive experience. To optimize its transmission, current…
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}…
Unlike conventional videos, 360{\deg} videos give freedom to users to turn their heads, watch and interact with the content owing to its immersive spherical environment. Although these movements are arbitrary, similarities can be observed…
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…
The recent rise of interest in Virtual Reality (VR) came with the availability of commodity commercial VR products, such as the Head Mounted Displays (HMD) created by Oculus and other vendors. One of the main applications of virtual reality…
360-degree panoramic videos have gained considerable attention in recent years due to the rapid development of head-mounted displays (HMDs) and panoramic cameras. One major problem in streaming panoramic videos is that panoramic videos are…
In contrast to traditional videos, the imaging in virtual reality (VR) is 360{\deg}, and it consumes larger bandwidth to transmit video contents. To reduce bandwidth consumption, tile-based streaming has been proposed to deliver the focused…
We propose a new method for the visual quality assessment of 360-degree (omnidirectional) videos. The proposed method is based on computing multiple spatio-temporal objective quality features on viewports extracted from 360-degree videos. A…
Proactive tile-based virtual reality (VR) video streaming employs the current tracking data of a user to predict future requested tiles, then renders and delivers the predicted tiles to be requested before playback. The quality of…
In the context of view-dependent point-cloud streaming in a scene, our rate allocation is "adaptive" in the sense that it priorities the point-cloud models depending on the camera view and the visibility of the objects and their distance as…
Recent advances in omnidirectional cameras and AR/VR headsets have spurred the adoption of 360-degree videos that are widely believed to be the future of online video streaming. 360-degree videos allow users to wear a head-mounted display…
Over the last few years, 360{\deg} video traffic on the network has grown significantly. A key challenge of 360{\deg} video playback is ensuring a high quality of experience (QoE) with limited network bandwidth. Currently, most studies…
In this paper, we investigate wireless streaming of multi-quality tiled 360 virtual reality (VR) videos from a multi-antenna server to multiple single-antenna users in a multi-carrier system. To capture the impact of field-of-view (FoV)…
Proactive tile-based video streaming can avoid motion-to-photon latency of wireless virtual reality (VR) by computing and delivering the predicted tiles to be requested before playback. All existing works either focus on designing…
We demonstrate an adaptive bandwidth-efficient 360 VR video streaming system based on MPEG-DASH SRD. We extend MPEG-DASH SRD to the 3D space of 360 VR videos, and showcase a dynamic view-aware adaptation technique to tackle the high…
Volumetric video, also known as hologram video, is a novel medium that portrays natural content in Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). It is expected to be the next-gen video technology and a prevalent use…
To properly evaluate the performance of 360VR-specific encoding and transmission schemes, and particularly of the solutions based on viewport adaptation, it is necessary to consider not only the bandwidth saved, but also the quality of the…
This paper investigates adaptive streaming of one or multiple tiled 360 videos from a multi-antenna base station (BS) to one or multiple single-antenna users, respectively, in a multi-carrier wireless system. We aim to maximize the video…
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…
