Mobile 3D multimedia streaming

智能手机和平板电脑等移动设备越来越多地用于多媒体服务，如点播视频流、实况流和视频会议。鉴于移动设备的广泛采用，预计其用户将要求更高质量和更具成本效益的移动多媒体服务。该项目的目标是优化当前和未来移动多媒体系统的服务效率和质量。我们提出了优化技术，使现有的系统能够通过不同的无线网络向大规模用户社区提供更高质量的多媒体内容。我们还提出了优化提供3D多媒体内容的近期移动系统的体系结构和算法，这些内容有望成为多媒体服务的未来。该项目开发的算法和系统将使人们能够随时随地在任何设备上访问高质量的3D多媒体内容。

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.
