Backlight scaling is a technique proposed to reduce the display panel power consumption by strategically dimming the backlight. However, for Internet streaming to mobile devices, a computationally intensive luminance compensation step must be performed ...

This paper is the product of recent advances in research on users' intent during multimedia content retrieval. Our goal is to save bandwidth while streaming video clips from a browsable on-demand service, while maintaining or even improving the users' ...

This paper proposes "LD-Tetrys" (Late Decoding Tetrys), a solution based on an on-the-fly erasure code that attempts to solve the problem of late decoded packets usually considered as lost by the video decoder. LD-Tetrys has the following advantages: i) ...

Multiparty conferencing has traditionally been a relatively expensive application that was only used in enterprise scenarios. Recently, however, the landscape has started to shift in ways that could change this. Ever-increasing bandwidth and processing ...

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is broadly deployed on the Internet for live and on-demand video streaming services. Recently, a new version of HTTP was proposed, named HTTP/2. One of the objectives of HTTP/2 is to improve the end-user ...

As dynamic delivery of video over HTTP becomes prominent, rate adaptation techniques become more challenging due to bandwidth variations. This paper presents a Fuzzy-based controller to dynamically adapt the video bitrate based on both the estimated ...

Even though cellular networks offer a ubiquitous access to the Internet for mobile devices, their throughput is often insufficient for the rising demand for mobile video. Classical video streaming approaches can not cope with bandwidth fluctuations ...

Content distribution, especially the distribution of video content, unavoidably consumes bandwidth resource heavily. Internet content providers (ICP) spend lots of money to buy content distribution network (CDN) service. By deploying thousands of edge ...

The growing power of processors allows us to implement increasingly complex multimedia algorithms. However, this processor power is only available if the algorithms are implemented in a way that exploits the multi-core parallelism of these processors. ...

Empowered by today's rich tools for media generation and collaborative production, the multimedia service paradigm is shifting from the conventional single source, to multi-source, to many sources, and now toward crowdsource. Such crowdsourced live ...

Recent years have witnessed the emergence and growth of Cloud Gaming, where players interact with the remote game instance and receive rendered game scenes in video stream. Meanwhile, broadcasting and viewing games through live streaming platforms, e.g.,...

The degradation of player performance in network games with latency is well documented. However, quantifying the effects of latency on player individual actions is an unmet challenge. Under constrained bitrate conditions, player actions delayed on the ...
