Mobile 3D multimedia streaming

移动设备，如智能手机和平板电脑，越来越多地用于多媒体服务，如点播视频流、直播视频流和视频会议。随着流动装置的广泛采用，预期其用户会要求更高质素及更具成本效益的流动多媒体服务。该项目的目标是优化当前和未来移动多媒体系统的效率和服务质量。我们提出了优化技术，使当前系统能够通过各种无线网络向大规模用户社区提供更高质量的多媒体内容。我们还提出了架构和算法，以优化在不久的将来提供3D多媒体内容的移动系统，这有望成为多媒体服务的未来。在这个项目中开发的算法和系统将能够从任何地方、任何时间、任何设备上访问高质量的3D多媒体内容。这将加速创造创新的多媒体服务，使加拿大人有更好的社会生活，有更有效的交流方法，从而提高生产力，并使加拿大公司有机会在充满活力和迅速增长的全球多媒体服务市场上更具竞争力。

Mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers, are increasingly used for multimedia services such as on-demand video streaming, live streaming, and video conferencing. Given the wide adoption of mobile devices, their users are expected to demand higher quality and more cost-effective mobile multimedia services. The goal of this project is to optimize the efficiency and quality of service of current and future mobile multimedia systems. We propose optimization techniques that enable current systems to provide higher-quality multimedia contents to large-scale user communities over diverse wireless networks. We also propose architectures and algorithms for optimizing near-future mobile systems that offer 3D multimedia contents, which are expected to be the future of multimedia services. The algorithms and systems developed in this project will enable access to high-quality and 3D multimedia contents from anywhere, anytime, and on any device. This will accelerate the creation of innovative multimedia services, which will lead to better social life for Canadians, more effective methods of communication and thus higher productivity, and opportunities for Canadian companies to become more competitive in the vibrant and rapidly growing global market of multimedia services.
