We propose an objective approach to assess the quality of video blending. Blending is a
fundamental operation in video editing, which can smooth the intensity changes of relevant …

The Internet needs to evolve from a single-service data network into the multiservice
intelligent network capable of satisfying diverse performance requirements. The way …

In this paper we explore the use of Priority-progress streaming (PPS) for video surveillance
applications. PPS is an adaptive streaming technique for the delivery of continuous media …

In this paper, we describe a mechanism for adaptive transmission of multimedia data, which
is based on real‐time protocols. The proposed mechanism can be used for unicast or …

Discusses the challenges of bandwidth scarcity due to mobile data explosion and their
solutions The rapidly growing popularity of Smartphones and other mobile devices has …

IP networks present a challenging environment for video streaming because they do not
provide throughput, jitter, or loss rate guarantees. In this work, we focus on improving the …

Devices sharing a network compete for bandwidth, being able to transmit only a limited
amount of data. This is for example the case with a network of cameras, that should record …

Modern computing systems are often formed by multiple components that interact with each
other through the use of shared resources (eg, CPU, network bandwidth, storage). In this …

This paper describes a method to compute frame size estimates to be used in quasi Worst-
Case Transmission Times (qWCTT) for cameras that transmit frames over IP-based …
