Einladung zum Kolloquium am 26.04.10

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, zu unserem Kolloquium am 26.04.2010 lade ich Sie hiermit herzlich ein. Es spricht Prof. Dr. Chang Wen Chen SUNY Buffalo, USA über das Thema Semantic image and video adaptation for mobile device access Recent proliferation of mobile devices with video capture and display capabilities has resulted in a paradigm shift trends in video coding, processing, and adaptation. One major challenge in mobile media access is the adaptation of digital image and video for mobile devices with limited display sizes. Intelligent adaptation based on content semantics can provide much better adaptation than simple resolution reduction. This talk will present examples in semantic adaptation of image and video for mobile device access based on the understanding of media semantics. Some detailed analysis and simulation results will be shown to demonstrate that innovative approaches can be designed to meet the technical challenges in future networked mobile media entertainment and applications.
