Light field coding has been extensively researched in the last few years. A wide range of light field coding solutions have been proposed, from well-known, off-the-shelf standard codecs, to those specially designed for light field data. These methods aim to exploit the huge amount of redundant information about the light rays in the same scene

After months of looking for volunteers to do the job, during our last NMC meeting, Prof. Zargari stepped up and in a short time, provided an outstanding Farsi translation for ITTC-SC 29 website. Kudos to him and other volunteers who make every effort to make SC 29 activities available to a larger number of experts
At last, ITTC-SC29’s Website Got a Farsi Face! Read More »
The development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies enable the usage of genomic information as everyday practice in several fields, but the growing volume of data generated becomes a serious obstacle for a wide diffusion. The lack of an appropriate representation and efficient compression of genomic data is widely recognized as a critical element limiting

In April 2020, MPEG announced the completion of the new ISO/IEC 23094-1 standard, i.e., MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC). There is a constant demand for more efficient video coding technologies, but coding efficiency is not the only factor determining the industry’s choice of video coding technology for products and services. The standard offers improved compression

In October 2020, MPEG announced the completion of the new ISO/IEC 23094-2 standard, i.e., Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (MPEG-5 Part 2 LCEVC). LCEVC adds an enhancement data stream that can appreciably improve the resolution and visual quality of reconstructed video with effective compression efficiency of limited complexity by building on top of existing and

MPEG has recently completed the work on Compact Descriptors for Visual Search (CDVS), which enables efficient search in large-scale image collections. While this standard is an important step forward, there are still open challenges from the large and quickly growing amount of video, for example, in the media and entertainment industry, in the automotive industry

Artificial neural networks have been adopted for a broad range of tasks in multimedia analysis and processing, such as visual and acoustic classification, extraction of multimedia descriptors or image and video coding. The trained neural networks for these applications contain a large number of parameters (i.e., weights), resulting in a considerable size. Thus, transferring them
