Evolutive Video Coding

Speaker: Dr. Seishi Takamura, NTT, Kanagawa, Japan

Talk Title: Evolutive Video Coding

Abstract: Evolutive methods based on genetic programming (GP) enable dynamic algorithm generation, and have been successfully applied to many areas such as plant control, robot control, and stock market prediction. However, conventional image/video coding methods such as JPEG, H.264/AVC and HEVC all use fixed (non-dynamic) algorithms without exception. In this talk, we introduce and investigate GP-based, highly nonlinear o pixel predictor to reduce lossless bit rate o image filter to enhance coding gaino transform to enhance coding gain that are specifically evolved for each input image.

Biography: Seishi Takamura (1991, 1993, 1996 B.E., M.E. Ph.D. The University of Tokyo) joined NTT in 1996, where he is engaged in research on efficient video coding. During 2005-2006 he was a visiting scientist at IVMS Group, Stanford Univ. In 2009 he was elevated to Distinguished Technical Member of NTT. He has been Involved in HEVC standardization activity since 2010. He has been Vice Chair (2009-2010) and Chair (2011-2012) of the IEEE Tokyo SectionTPC. Since 2013 he is also the treasurer of the above section and of the IEEE Japan Council. Since 2006 he has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Tr. CSVT (2007-2010 Certificate of Appreciation from IEEE CAS Society recipient). He is a member of MENSA, IPSJ, IIEEJ and ITE. A senior member of IEEE and IEICE. He is the recipient of 23 academic awards and inventor of 100+ patent applications.
