Scalable video coding allows for the capability of (partially) decoding a video bitstream when faced with communication deficiencies such as low handwidth or loss of data resulting in lower video quality. As the encoding ...

In video coding, dependencies between frames are being exploited to achieve compression by only coding the differences. This dependency can potentially lead to decoding inaccuracies when there is a communication error, ...

Streaming multimedia data on best-effort networks such as the Internet requires measures against bandwidth fluctuations and frame loss. Multiple Description Coding (MDC) methods are used to overcome the jitter and delay ...

The vast application of video streaming over the Internet requires video adaptation to the fluctuations of the available bandwidth, and the rendering capabilities of the receiver device. On the other hand, the available ...

Scalable video coding and multiple description coding are the two different adaptation schemes for video transmission over heterogeneous and best-effort networks such as the Internet. We propose a new method to encode video ...

Evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the human-computer interaction. With the rapid emergence of threedimensional (3-D) applications; the need for a new type of interaction device arises as traditional devices ...
