Multichannel video/audio acquisition for immersive conferencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an information-driven audiovisual signal acquisition approach. This approach has several advantages: users are encouraged to assist in signal acquisition; available sensors are managed based on both signal characteristics and users’ suggestions. The problem formulation is consistent with many well-known empirical approaches widely used in previous systems and may provide analytical explanations to these approaches. We demonstrate the use of this approach to pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) camera management with field data.

This work addresses the problems of sending live media, in the form of audio and video over heterogenous networks. Specifically we address streaming multiple video streams in a wireless network and streaming audio in a multi-video tele-immersive environment. In the wireless domain, we explore the use of a user level Bandwidth Manager as QoS control to aid the transfer of adaptive video. We impl...
متن کاملMultichannel Audio Coding for Multimedia Services in Intelligent Environments
Audio is an integral component of multimedia services in intelligent environments. Use of multiple channels in audio capturing and rendering offers the advantage of recreating arbitrary acoustic environments, immersing the listener into the acoustic scene. On the other hand, multichannel audio contains a large degree of information which is highly demanding to transmit, especially for real-time...
