Direct Broadcast Experiment of Digital TV Signals
(Sponsored by National Space Program Office, 1996~)
 
Objectives:
  • A study of optimal audio/video compression and communications strategies for direct broadcast experiment of digital TV signals via ROCSAT-1.
  • Development of standardized and non-standardized codecs and implementation of two-layer scalable coding.
  • Investigation of the characteristics of Ka-Band channel.

 

Object-based Virtual Meeting
 (Sponsored by CCL. ITRI,1999~)
 
Objectives:
  • Development of practical prototype systems of networked multipoint virtual meeting.
  • Development of object-based real video transcoding in virtual meeting environment.
  • Development of avatar-based virtual meeting with face model adaptation.

 

MPEG-4 Model-based Virtual Conferencing
(Sponsored by National Science Council,1998~)
 
Objectives:
  • Construct a virtual presence system with virtual humans, virtual environments and their interactions.
