Abstract In this paper we propose a reduced-reference quality assessment algorithm which computes an approximation of the Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) metrics exploiting coding too...

This paper presents a framework for efficiently streaming scalable video from multiple servers over heterogeneous network paths. We propose to use rateless codes, or Fountain cod...

An explicit slice-based mode type selection scheme for use in H.264/AVC has recently been developed, which preserves the coding efficiency of H.264/AVC without requiring any modif...
In this paper, we consider a distributed video server environment where video movies need not be stored entirely in one server. Blocks of a video movie are allowed to be distribut...
