Paper accepted @ IEEE ISM´2022: Semantic-Aware View Prediction for 360-Degree Videos at the 5G Edge

IEEE ISM’2022 (https://www.ieee-ism.org/) Authors: Shivi Vats, Jounsup Park, Klara Nahrstedt, Michael Zink, Ramesh Sitaraman, and Hermann Hellwagner Abstract: In a 5G testbed, we use 360° video streaming to test, measure, and demonstrate the 5G infrastructure, including the capabilities and challenges of edge computing support. Specifically, we use the SEAWARE (Semantic-Aware View Prediction) software system, originally […]

GMSys 2023: First International ACM Green Multimedia Systems Workshop, 7 – 10 June 2023, Vancouver, Canada

The threat of climate change requires a drastic reduction of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in several societal spheres. Thus, this also applies to reducing and rethinking the energy consumption of digital technologies. Video streaming technology is responsible for more than half of digital technology’s global impact [ref]. There is rapid growth, also now with […]
