Increasing real-time video streaming performance over Wi-Fi networks

This project focuses on improving the performance of the real-time video streaming over Wi-Fi networks, in which losing packets is a serious concern. State-of-the-art methods try to improve the robustness of AL-FEC mechanisms by providing unequal protection to the packets. But such approaches are complex and increase even more the delays. In contrast, the proposed […]

Efficient and low-complexity video coding for virtual reality and 360-degree video streaming – Year two

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) offer a unique immersive video experience by providing 360-degree video in a panoramic view. Limited bandwidth, demanding high quality, encoder delay, network latency and lack of standards are the main problems to deliver true VR immersive experience. To address these challenges, in this research, we intend to design […]

Energy Efficient 360 Video Processing for Portable VR-Technologies

This project focuses on the energy consumption of modern virtual reality applications. The target devices are virtual-reality-glasses that can be worn on the head and that simulate a virtual 3D environment to users. Most modern devices are still rather heavy, uncomfortable to wear, and attached to a powerline such that the user experience can still […]
