Activity-aware adaptive compression: a morphing-based frame synthesis application in 3DTI

Abstract

In view of the different demands on quality of service of different user activities in the 3D Tele-immersive (3DTI) environment, we combine activity recognition and real-time morphing-based compression and present the Activity-Aware Adaptive Compression. We implement this scheme on our 3DTI platform: the TEEVE Endpoint, which is a runtime engine to handle the creation, transmission and rendering of 3DTI data. User study as well as objective evaluation of the scheme show that it can achieve 25% more bandwidth saving compared to conventional 3D data compression as zlib without perceptible degradation in the user experience.
