Video summarization is an important multimedia task for applications such as video indexing and retrieval, video surveillance, human-computer interaction and video "storyboarding". In this paper, we present a new approach for automatic summarization of video collections that leverages a structured minimum-risk classifier and efficient submodular inference. To test the accuracy of the predicted...
Quality of Experience (QoE) management is a prime topic of research community nowadays as video streaming, online gaming and security applications are completely reliant on the network service quality. Moreover, there are no standard models to map Quality of Service (QoS) into QoE. HTTP media streaming is primarily used for such applications due to its coherence with the Internet and simplified management...
Content based indexing is critical to the effective access of the multimedia data. To this end, visual data is often annotated with textual content for bridging the semantic gap. In this paper, we present a method to generate frame level fine grained annotations for a given video clip. Access to the frame level fine grained annotations lead to rich, dense and meaningful semantic associations between...
Cognitive radios use idle slots in the already assigned licensed frequency bands for communication in such a way that it does not affect the service being offered to the existing user in that band. The aim of cognitive radio network is to improve the spectrum efficiency and to increase the overall channel utilization which is a scarce resource. Multimedia traffic is especially suited to such environment...
Enormous usage of multimedia necessitates maintaining a secured environment. Security in multimedia communication can be achieved with many cryptographic techniques. Perceptual video encryption is an essential technique to prevent the unwanted use of the video which is transmitted. Encryption is used in order to maintain a safe content of data from attackers. This paper explains about the perceptual...
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) adopts a new technique, called quad-tree based coding for inter prediction. However, deciding the optimal depth of Coding Unit (CU), namely the basic unit of the quad-tree structure, is a very time-consuming task. This paper presents a fast CU size decision algorithm to reduce the complexity and encoding time for inter prediction. The proposed algorithm shows a...
Efficient Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Services (MBMS) to heterogeneous users in cellular networks imply adaptive video encoding, layered multimedia transmission, optimized transmission parameters, and dynamic broadcast area definition. This paper deals with MBMS by proposing a multi-dimensional approach for broadcast area definition, which provides an effective solution to all of the above...
To facilitate reliable data transmission over error prone networks, many error correction techniques have been developed to combat data corruption. The reliability requirement of different applications can vary. The multimedia streaming services can usually withstand a certain level of data loss, but they have a strict limitation on the latency tolerance. In this paper, a section-based protection...
Hashing has been widely used for approximate nearest neighbor search of high-dimensional multimedia data. In this paper, we propose a novel hash learning framework that maps high-dimensional multimodal data into a common Hamming space where the cross-modal similarity can be measured using Hamming distance. Unlike existing cross-modal hashing methods that learn hash functions in the form of numeric...
The rapid advancements in networking technologies and hand-held devices enable mobile users to concurrently receive real-time multimedia streaming (e.g., high-definition video) with different radio interfaces (e.g., Wi-Fi and LTE networks). Stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) is an important transport-layer solution to implement concurrent multipath transfer (CMT) over heterogeneous wireless...
End-users in online video services are sensitive to the overall quality of the video at screen, but also, and more importantly, to other factors, including the latency between the video generation and the playback for live videos. If the improvement of the quality of the perceived video has been well investigated by the multimedia community, the impact of delay, latency, and re-buffering has not received...
Recent years have seen an increased concern for the power consumption in cellular networks and the consequent environmental impact. This paper studies the role that source (especially video) coding efficiency plays in reducing the power consumption of cellular networks, making its operation more environmentally sustainable. Specifically, this paper presents a formulation that describes the power savings...
Three-dimensional (3D) images and video have been around for decades in a variety of formats and supported by different technologies. In the recent past, these technologies have been given increasing attention from both academia and industry mainly due to advances in capture, coding, transmission and display technologies. 3D video has evolved from stereoscopic towards multi-view video plus depth,...
Nowadays, multiview video, as an advanced form of educational video, is in development phase. In this article, positive and problematic aspects of educational video are described from the point of view of a teacher. The technical properties and problems of multiview video streaming, such as Multiview Video Coding (MVC), streaming technology, and multiview video database systems are briefly mentioned...
Motion compensation is the key technique to reduce temporal redundancy in video coding. Interpolation filters are adopted to generate the inter frame prediction for motion compensation with fractional pixel accuracy. In existing video coding standards such as H.264/AVC and HEVC, a set of predefined interpolation filters is adopted in motion compensation. However, predefined interpolation filters cannot...
Multimedia content is required at different quality levels due to heterogeneous network conditions and diverse consumption devices. A conventional scalable coder generates a layered bitstream, wherein a base layer produces a coarse reconstruction, and successive layers refine the quality, incrementally. However most multimedia sources are not successively refinable under their relevant distortion...
An efficient framework of distributed compressive video coding using Enhanced side information for WSN is proposed. At the encoder, the incoming video frames are split into key frames and Wiener-Ziv (WZ) frames depending on Group of Picture (GOP). Based on Distributed Video Coding (DVC) these frames are processed independently and transmitted over WSN. Generally the WZ frames are encoded at a lower...
In emergency scenarios, e.g., natural disasters, the infrastructure of telecommunication system is partially or even completely disrupted. While the bandwidth and energy resources of system are limited, the maltimedia communication demand of myriad usen may reach the peak of data traffic. This in tum makes the system more challenging to serve the users high quality of maltimedia streaming with con...
In this paper, a RTP streaming media application for video signals on demand or multicast is proposed based on MPEG-4 coding features and RTP/RTCP principles.
