Landmarking for Navigational Streaming of Stored High-Dimensional Media

Streaming Stored Continuous Media over Fair-Share Bandwidth

We investigate the impact of the long-term behavior of fair-share bandwidth on transmission schemes for streaming stored Continuous Media (CM). To obtain typical fair-share bandwidth conditions, we perform a series of Internet experiments in which we monitor TCP bulk-data transfers between various sites, and collect average TCP throughput traces. The collected traces exhibit highvariability ove...

Encoding stored video for streaming applications

In streaming video applications, video sequences are encoded off-line and stored in a server. Users may access the server over a constant bitrate channel. Examples of the streaming video applications are video-on-demand, archived video news, and noninteractive distance learning. Before the playback, part of the video bitstream is pre-loaded in the decoder buffer to ensure that every frame can b...

Broadcasting and Streaming Stored Video

Broadcasting and Streaming Stored Video Despina C. Saparilla Supervisor: Prof. Keith W. Ross This thesis studies distribution schemes for stored video over broadcast networks and over the Internet. In the rst part of the thesis we consider designing near Video on Demand (VoD) systems that minimize start-up latency while maintaining high-image quality. We propose a novel scheme for near VoD whic...

Sketching and Streaming High-Dimensional Vectors

A sketch of a dataset is a small-space data structure supporting some prespecified set of queries (and possibly updates) while consuming space substantially sublinear in the space required to actually store all the data. Furthermore, it is often desirable, or required by the application, that the sketch itself be computable by a small-space algorithm given just one pass over the data, a so-call...
