In imaging systems, following acquisition, an image/video is transmitted or stored and eventually presented to human observers using different and often imperfect display devices. While the resulting quality of the output image may severely be affected by the display, this degradation is usually ignored in the preceding compression. In this paper we model the sub-optimality of the display devic...

This thesis focuses on the design of a foveated stereo video compression algorithm for visual telepresence applications. In a typical telepresence application, a user at the local site views real-time stereo video recorded and transmitted from a robotic camera platform located at a remote site. The robotic camera platform tracks the user’s head motion producing the sensation of being present at...

Due to the strong correlation between symmetric frames, video signals have a high degree of temporal redundancy. Motion estimation techniques are computationally expensive and time-consuming processes used in compression reduce The block-matching technique is, on other hand, most popular efficient different motion compensation techniques. based generally uses minimization either mean square err...
