Scalable and coherent video resizing with per-frame optimization

Scalable Visualization Resizing Framework

Effective visualization resizing is important for many visualization tasks, where users may have display devices with different sizes and aspect ratios. Our recently designed framework can adapt a visualization to different displays by transforming the resizing problem into a non-linear optimization problem. However, it is not scalable to a large amount of dense information. Undesired cluttered...

Scalable MPEG video coding with improved B-frame prediction

Recently, there is a great interest in video codecs that implement the functionality of spatial scalability. Unfortunately, those MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 coders which exhibit such a functionality produce much more bits than corresponding single layer coders. This bitrate overhead can be reduced by application of spatio-temporal scalability as proposed by the authors. The base layer bitstream correspo...

Optimal Frame Transmission for Scalable Video with Hierarchical Prediction Structure

An optimal frame transmission scheme is presented for streaming scalable video over a link with limited capacity. The objective is to select a transmission sequence of frames and their transmission schedule such that the overall video quality is maximized. The problem is solved for two general classes of hierarchical prediction structures, which include as a special case the popular dyadic stru...

Mesh-based scalable video coding with rate-distortion optimization

In this paper, we present a mesh-based motion estimation scheme for image sequence. Nodal motion vectors optimization is performed by using a multi-resolution differential method. Because our final aim is mesh tracking throughout a video sequence with optimized reconstruction, neither backward tracking nor forward tracking is well suited. One motivation of our work is to take advantage of both ...
