If the frame size of a multimedia encoder is small, Internet Protocol (IP) streaming applications need to pack many encoded media frames in each Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)...
Abstract This paper presents an efficient and robust algorithm for 3D mesh segmentation. Segmentation is one of the main areas of 3D object modeling. Most segmentation methods deco...
Given its readily deployable nature and broad applications for digital entertainment, video streaming through overlay networks has received much attention recently. While a tree to...
Variable bit rate (VBR) compression for media streams allocates more bits to complex scenes and fewer bits to simple scenes. This results in a higher and more uniform visual and au...
