We are designing adaptive streaming algorithms that are based on the visual content of the video streams. The goal is to adaptively transmit the most important frames to clients to yield the best quality. Several ideas are being explored, including: real time and offline processing of video streams, summarization of sports videos, and adaptation of multi-layer scalable video streams.

Discussion and Ideas
- In video streaming we are more interested to see certain events such as a goal save. Frame significance does not capture this.
- For stored videos a profile is produced showing the percentage of frames above certain threshold values. This profile can be used to determine the threshold value in order to keep the required bandwidth below a given limited bandwidth.
- Using only HS histogram could help reduce the dimension.
- Using min function (instead of cosine) could be a better similarity measure.
- Sending high significance frames results in worse PSNR compared to temporal down sampling.
- Sending high significance frames ignores large portions of video, and sacrifices the temporal quality (motion).
- Explore video quality measures.
