    Rate-distortion optimized layered stereoscopic video streaming with raptor codes
    (IEEE, 2007) Tan, A. Serdar; Aksay, A.; Bilen, C.; Bozdağı-Akar, G.; Arıkan, Erdal
    A near optimal streaming system for stereoscopic video is proposed. Initially, the stereoscopic video is separated into three layers and the approximate analytical model of the Rate-Distortion (RD) curve of each layer is calculated from sufficient number of rate and distortion samples. The analytical modeling includes the interdependency of the defined layers. Then, the analytical models are used to derive the optimal source encoding rates for a given channel bandwidth. The distortion in the quality of the stereoscopic video that is caused by losing a NAL unit from the defined layers is estimated to minimize the average distortion of a single NAL unit loss. The minimization is performed over protection rates allocated to each layer. Raptor codes are utilized as the error protection scheme due to their novelty and suitability in video transmission. The layers are protected unequally using Raptor codes according to the parity ratios allocated to the layers. Comparison of the defined scheme with two other protection allocation schemes is provided via simulations to observe the quality of stereoscopic video.

    Robust transmission of multi-view video streams using flexible macroblock ordering and systematic LT codes
    (IEEE, 2007) Argyropoulos, S.; Tan, A. Serdar; Thomos, N.; Arıkan, Erdal; Strintzis, M. G.
    The transmission of fully compatible H.264/AVC multi-view video coded streams over packet erasure networks is examined. Macroblock classification into unequally important slice groups is considered using the Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) tool of H.264/AVC Systematic LT codes are used for error protection due to their low complexity and advanced performance. The optimal slice grouping and channel rate allocation are jointly determined by an iterative optimization algorithm based on dynamic programming. The experimental evaluation clearly demonstrates the validity of the proposed method.

    Uçtan uca modelleme ile kesintisiz stereo video iletimi
    (IEEE, 2008-04) Tan, A. Serdar; Aksay, A; Akar, G. B.; Arıkan, Erdal
    Bu çalışmamızda, hata koruma yöntemi olarak oransız kodları (Raptor Kodları) kullanan kesintisiz bir stereo video iletim sistemi önermekteyiz. İlk olarak video kodlayıcının hızbozulum (HB) eğrisini ve kanal koruma kodunun performansını analitik olarak modelledik. Daha sonra, paket kayıplarından kaynaklanan stereo videodaki kalite bozulumunu kestirdik. Son olarak, analitik modelleri ve kestirilmiş paket kayıp bozulumlarını kullanarak uçtan uca bozulum enküçültmesi uyguladık ve en iyi video kodlayıcı bit hızlarını ve eşit olmayan hata koruması (EOHK) oranlarını elde ettik. Benzetim sonuçlarında, önerilen sistemin getirdiği önemli kalite kazanımları açıkça gözlenmektedir.
