This paper presents an overview on and reports on early experiences of the European ACTS project AC089 called „Distributed Video Production (DVP)“ which started in late 1995. Central to DVP are distributed pilot applications for professional digital video production over ATM broadband networks (LAN and WAN). Distributed video production refers to situations where the cameras, recorders, switche...

In recent years, with the rapid development of ornamental fisheries and recreational fisheries, different varieties of ornamental fish have come into many office business palaces and people’s house. The Aquarium and many other aquarium equipment are developing from functionality to intelligentize. Through the industry research, a set of remote automation monitoring and control equipment for the...

Recent advances in high-performance portable processing equipment, such as mobile pro‐ cessors, have enabled users to experience new-generation devices, including networked gaming consuls, smart televisions and smart phones. Video coding, video compression and video communication are essential parts of the aforementioned applications. However, networking infrastructures do not offer unlimited b...

Embedded software is that which resides in devices that are not first-and-foremost computers. It is pervasive, appearing in vehicles, telephones, pagers, audio equipment, aircraft, appliances, toys, security systems, games, PDAs, medical diagnostics, weapons, pacemakers, television sets, video production equipment, network switches, printers, scanners, climate control systems, manufacturing sys...

Videoconferencing enables people to attend and participate in meetings from remote locations. The key problem faced by electronic attendees is the limited sense of engagement offered by the audiovisual channel. The attendee is typically restricted to a single view of the room and has no ability to interact with presentation technology at the conference site. As a first step to improving the sit...

The paper discusses aspects of the potential usefulness and limitations of methods that could use the information in the optic flow of video that can be captured and processed aboard an unmanned air vehicle. Some preliminary theoretical and experimental results from analysis of video that has been recorded by the author using video telemetry equipment designed and constructed by the author and ...

Modern image and video compression techniques today offer the possibility to store or transmit the vast amount of data necessary to represent digital images and video in an efficient and robust way. New audio visual applications in the field of communication, multimedia and broadcasting became possible based on digital video coding technology. As manifold as applications for image coding are to...

Video tracking is a powerful new tool for studying natural undisturbed behaviour in a wide range of birds, mammals and reptiles. Using integrated animal-borne video tags, video footage and positional data are recorded simultaneously from wild free-ranging animals. At the analysis stage, video scenes are linked to radio fixes, yielding an animal's eye view of resource use and social interactions...

compressed domain processing, transcoding, video editing, MPEG, splicing, reverse play, frame rate conversion, interlace to progressive, motion vector resampling Video compression algorithms are being used to compress digital video for a wide variety of applications, including video delivery over the Internet, advanced television broadcasting, video streaming, video conferencing, and video stor...

INTRODUCTION Although videos of surgical procedures are useful as an educational tool, the recording of trauma surgeries in emergency situations is difficult. We describe an inexpensive and practical shooting method using a commercially available head-mounted video camera. METHODS We used a ContourHD 1080p Helmet Camera (Contour Inc., Seattle, Washington, USA.). This small, self-contained vid...
