Home Media Ecosystem • A case for importance of research in multimedia
The need for video compression • Video signal : Sequence of frames (images) related among temporal dimension • TV video quality: 704x576 pixels per frame, 12 bpp, 25 frames per second - > 121 Mbps • Too much data for video transmission or storage • Increasing importance of multimedia communication t NEED FOR VIDEO COMPRESION

Mobile Applications Development of virtual lab platform for mobile software application Developing a low complexity video codec for mobile application Complexity reduction Complexity reduction in existing video codecs Complexity reduction in existing audio codecs Quality Improvement Optimizing existing video codecs using perceptual coding techniques Improve Robustness Error Resilience of video streams in a Lossy Wireless Environment Error concealment techniques for wireless video transmission Transcoders Video transcoders : VP6 to H.264, H.264 to VC-1, Wyner Ziv to H.264, H.264-to-AVS China transcoders Video/Audio Integration AVS China – Audio/Video codec – Multiplex/demultiplex and lip sync DIRAC video codec and AAC - Multiplex/demultiplex and lip sync Current Research Activities of MPL
Low complexity Codec Applications SensorCamPillCamWearableCamDisposable cam.ScanCam
Transcoding Applications Low complexity Decoder Low complexity Encoder The transcoding platforms handle the high complexity decoding on one side and high complexity encoding on the other (right) side
Error Concealment in Lossy Wireless Environment Reconstruct lost information Source Destination Original Information Information lost due to lossy wireless network Typical situation of 3G/4G cellular telephony
Multiplexing of Audio/Video AVS – Audio Video Standard of China

Consumer Electronics auto-stereoscopic display, 10+ views required Digital Cinema polarized glasses, 2 views sufficient 3D Video (3DV)/Free View-Point Video (FVV) effort initiated in MPEG. Similar concept to MPEG-C. Any number of views can be recreated using depth map in the decoder. 2D video data + depth Future Standards Activities – 3D Video
Future Standards Activities – 3D Video • Paramount Pictures' Beowulf is benefiting from theaters utilizing next-generation 3D technology (grossed approximately $23.4 million of a total domestic gross over 79.4 million.” • “U2 3D, the first live-action movie to be shot, produced, and screened exclusively with digital 3-D technology • DreamWorks Animation is joining the digital 3-D wave • Studio plans to release all its pics in 3-D starting in 2009.”
