Computational Video for Collaborative Applications
Abstract
The Computational Video for Collaborative Applications effort was devoted to the research of video compression/decompression virtual telepresence, and real-time processing of streaming data-types. Compression techniques were focused on overcoming the problem of delivering streaming content over unreliable packet-switching networks. Virtual telepresence work was in the development of video streaming with the end user having more control over how the video is presented. Real-time processing of streaming data types involves the fusing together of multiple video streams. A derivative of this work is the development of a new method for constructing virtual camera views from multiple live video streams by using dynamically reparameterized light fields (DRLFs). This technique has the advantage of providing visualizations of a remote scene's background and foreground objects. Extensive involvement at the Siggraph computer graphics conventions over the past several years has furthered the reach and applications of this important research.
