Abstract:
In this talk some of the recent advances and outstanding challenges in processing and transmitting multimedia signals will be addressed. A general framework for allocating resources in multimedia compression and transmission applications, ranging from bit allocation in object-based video compression to power efficient multimedia transmission, will be presented and demonstrated.
About the Keynote Speaker:
Aggelos K. Katsaggelos is the Ameritech Professor of Information Technology in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University, and Director of the Northwestern-Motorola Center for Telecommunications. He is also a member of the Associate Staff, Department of Medicine, at Evanston Hospital.
