  1. Yao Wang • Main Research Area • Multimedia signal processing • Image processing for biomedical applications • Presently focusing on video coding and transport over wireless networks and the Internet • Image Processing Research Lab (LC220) • Currently 5 full-time Ph.D students, 1 part time • Course directors for • EL512 (image processing), EL612 (video processing), EL514 (multimedia lab) • Contact: • On sabbatical leave Fall’04, Spring’05. On campus occasionally • Yao@poly.edu • More info at • http://eeweb.poly.edu/~yao Research Overview

  2. Current Research Projects • Peer-driven on-demand video streaming • With Keith Ross, Shiv Panwar, supported by NSF • Cooperative source and channel coding for wireless multimedia communication • With Elza Erkip, supported by NSF, Philips Research • Video coding without motion compensation using a new 3D dual-tree wavelet • With Ivan Selesnick, supported by NSF, Mitsubishi Lab (MERL) • Dynamically Reconfigurable Energy Aware Multimedia Information Terminals (DREAM-IT) • With David Goodman, Elza Erkip, Ramesh Karri, Dariusz Czarkowsky, supported by NSF, Philips Research • Video transport over wireless adhoc networks • With Shiv Panwar, Supported by NSF Research Overview

  3. Peer-driven on-demand video streaming • Conventional video-on-demand services use dedicated servers • Severs are very costly • Single point of failures • Hard to scale • Peer driven: Use peers as streaming servers • Server Peers store and deliver video to client peers • Challenge: • Peers can disconnect frequently without notice • Peers have limited uplink bandwidth • Proposed solution • Code a video into multiple descriptions, store these in separate peer servers • A client streams all descriptions from separate servers • When a peer disconnect, only a single description is affected before a replacement server is found Research Overview

  4. DREAM-IT • Energy conservation is of paramount importance in designing wireless communication systems and devices • Reduced energy consumption = prolonged battery life • Many components contribute to the total energy consumption in a wireless communication device • Baseband processing (sourcecoding, channel coding, modulation), encryption,transmission, display and other computations on the mobile terminal • Past Approach: hardware/software design of each component to minimize power consumption of each • Our approach: adaptation of operating parameters of all components simultaneously to minimize total power consumption • We focus on adaptation of the source coding, channel coding, and transmission power (Joint work with David Goodman, Elza Erkip) Research Overview
