Efficient multi-view video coding with cuboids and base anchored models. This project aims to address current deficiencies in multi-view video coding technology to achieve the ultra-compression efficiency demanded by increasing display resolutions and synchronised viewpoints. The project expects to generate new knowledge, by moving from the current pixel-centric approach to methods that concentrate information common to many view-frames.

This project aims to address current deficiencies in multi-view video coding technology to achieve the ultra-compression efficiency demanded by increasing display resolutions and synchronised viewpoints. The project expects to generate new knowledge, by moving from the current pixel-centric approach to methods that concentrate information common to many view-frames. The project is expected to improve compression of audio-visual services that are of great interest to international standards bodies and industry, while facilitating free interaction and augmented reality. This project will provide significant benefits to broadcast, entertainment, surveillance and health industries and position Australia as a world leader in this field.Read moreRead less
Video plasticity: Scalable video coding with inherently consistent motion. This project aims to improve how video coders represent motion, leading to more efficient motion descriptions and fewer distinct motion fields. The project will develop motion inference algorithms that ensure consistent motion descriptions throughout a group of pictures, allowing seamless integration of scalable video coding, motion compensated temporal filtering and motion compensated frame interpolation operations.

This project aims to improve how video coders represent motion, leading to more efficient motion descriptions and fewer distinct motion fields. The project will develop motion inference algorithms that ensure consistent motion descriptions throughout a group of pictures, allowing seamless integration of scalable video coding, motion compensated temporal filtering and motion compensated frame interpolation operations. The project is expected to support an efficient and interactive video browsing experience, largely decoupled from original frame rate and resolution; and deliver practical solutions that can be efficiently implemented on consumer devices.Read moreRead less
