VVC bitstream extraction and merging operations for multi-stream media applications

In traditional video decoding applications, the number of elementary streams that a hardware decoding platform of an end device can decode is determined at runtime by the. Upon request by the application, the decoding platform verifies whether a new decoding instance with an associated requirement in terms of data rate can fit under the current...

Onboard ROI selection for aerial surveillance using a high resolution, high framerate camera

With the latest advances in image sensor technology, cameras are able to generate video with tens of megapixels per frame. These high resolution videos streams offer great potential to be used in the surveillance domain. For ground based systems, gigapixel streams are already used with great effect as illustrated by the ICME 2019 crowd counting...

Prosuming live multimedia content in 5G-enabied smart cities

This paper presents a localized crowd-sourced multimedia production and distribution workflow to enable today's mobile producers of multimedia content to serve their content in real-time to other users, who may be both located nearby or remote to the producers, while at the same time drastically reducing the bandwidth utilization, both in uplink...

Towards Low-Complexity Scalable Coding for Ultra-High Resolution Video and beyond

The current state of the art of video coding lacks specific tools to efficiently deal with ultra-high resolutions such as 8K video both at a hardware and software level. At the same time, the increase in video resolutions combined with a larger variety in display resolutions results in a need for spatial scalability at low computational...

Viewport-driven DASH media playback for interactive storytelling: A seamless non-linear storyline experience

Over the past few years, the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technologies, e.g. the MPEG-DASH standard (DASH), became the predominant form of online video streaming. 360 Virtual Reality (VR) content have recently emerged on video streaming platform as a new immersive format but limits the interaction with the viewer to looking around via head...
