CanVid: Content- and Network-aware Video Processing---Summarization, Streaming, and Encoding
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.
