Two Directions on Next Generation Video Coding Standard

Speaker: Professor Wen Gao,
Peking UniversityAbstract:Video coding is one of the important technological advancements that have made a great difference to our lives. In the past decades, the development of efficient coding techniques has made a big contributes to industry, such as digital video, wireless or internet video, 3D video and so on, many techniques have been developed and evolved through several generations of video coding standards, e.g., MPEG-1/2/4, H.26x, VC-1, and AVS. The movement of developing next-generation video coding standard is just becoming hot, which provides the challenges and opportunities equally to all researchers in this field. There are two key activities for the next generation of video coding standard, one is based on high performance, another one based on IP consideration. In this talk, the state of art of technologies for two directions will be reviewed, and future steps will be discussed.Biography: Wen Gao received his Ph.D. degree in electronics engineering from the University of Tokyo in 1991. He joined with the Harbin Institute of Technology from 1991 to 1995, as professor, chairman of department of computer science. He joined with Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), as professor from 1996 to 2005. During his career at CAS, he served as the managing director of ICT from 1998 to 1999, the vice president of Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2000 to 2004, the vice president of University of Science and Technology China from 2000 to 2003. He is joining with the Peking University as professor since 2006. Dr. Gao is working at the areas of image and video processing, in particular at video coding and video analysis. He is the leader of Chinese National Body for MPEG standard, as well as the funder of AVS standard. He is an IEEE fellow.Hosted by Professor C.-C.Jay Kuo
