Reliable Adaptive Video Streaming Driven by Perceptual Semantics for Situational Awareness

A Method to Reduce Effects of Packet Loss in Video Streaming Using Multiple Description Coding

Multiple description (MD) coding has evolved as a promising technique for promoting error resiliency of multimedia system in real-time application programs over error-prone communicational channels. Although multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDCLVQ) is an efficient method for transmitting reliable data in the context of potential error channels, this method doesn’t consider disc...

Subjective and Objective Quality-of-Experience of Adaptive Video Streaming

With the rapid growth of streaming media applications, there has been a strong demand of Quality-of-Experience (QoE) measurement and QoE-driven video delivery technologies. While the new worldwide standard dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) provides an inter-operable solution to overcome the volatile network conditions, its complex characteristic brings new chall...

Adaptive Streaming of MPEG Video over IP Networks

We present the design of an adaptive service for streaming MPEG video over a best-effort IP network environment. The adaptive video streaming service exploits the inherent adaptiveness of video applications to perform controlled and graceful adjustments to the perceptual quality of the displayed MPEG video stream in response to fluctuations in the QoS delivered by the three primary components i...

A CLIENT−DRIVEN SCALABLE CROSS−LAYER RETRANSMISSION SCHEME FOR 3G VIDEO STREAMING (FriAmPO1)

The wireless channel is highly time−varying where packet losses often occur during the fading or lossy handovers. In order to avoid unaccepted quality degradation of video streaming over 3G cellular networks, we propose and analyze a novel client−driven scalable cross−layer (CSC) retransmission scheme. Considering the perceptual importance of different video partitions under the real−time and b...
