Demo: Distributed video coding applications in wireless multimedia sensor networks

Abstract

Abstract-Novel distributed video coding (DVC) architectures developed by the IBBT DVC group realize state-of-the-art video coding efficiency under stringent energy restrictions, while supporting error-resilience and scalability. Therefore, these architectures are particularly attractive for application scenarios involving low-complexity energy-constrained wireless visual sensors. This demo presents the scenarios, which are considered to be the most promising areas of integration for IBBT's DVC systems, considering feasibility and commercial applicability.

Scalable Distributed Video Coding for Wireless Video Sensor Networks

“…When video sensors are introduced in such systems, new applications/systems will emerge that distributed video sensors/cameras capture video sequences [2]. In response to this demand, research on Wireless Video Sensor Networks (WVSNs) [3] and Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) [4] have emerged, which include the network dynamics, low sensor node consumption and limited computing/storage capacity. These features require low complexity video encoders in the nodes.…”
