The objective of the UbiVid project is to develop a novel and efficient famework for ubiquitous computing with video and audio streamings over diverse communication networks. The main purpose is to significantly improve both audiovisual quality at the receiver and throughput during the transmission so that the end users could observe a synchronous and smooth playback.
The goals of this project include but are not limited to:
- Find an optimal way to combine an audio signal into a video signal synchronously, i.e., to construct new hybrid signal that can be further compressed
- Find an optimal way to compress an audio signal jointly with a video signal, i.e., leading to novel coding methods for digital audio and video signal
- Resolve how network coding techniques can improve multimedia data transmission compared to traditional routing technologies
- Resolve which multimedia application areas are most suitable for the methods investigated and developed in the project
The UbiVid project is funded by the Academy of Finland MOTIVE Programme..
The UbiVid project is led by Professor Moncef Gabbouj at the Department of Signal Processing in Tampere University of Technology,
in collaboration with Professor Jarmo Takala from the Department of Computer Systems.
The project is carried out during 2009-2011 at the Department of Signal Processing, in collaboration with the research group supervised by Professor Hexin Chen in New Communication Technique Key Lab at Jilin University, China.
