In this paper, we address the problem of QoS (Quality of Service) provisioning for multi-user video streaming over multiple heterogeneous wireless networks based on the distributed, cross-layer design framework. By jointly considering the rate allocation and the Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC), our proposal aims at maximizing the QoS provisioning under the given resource constraint. At first, we develop and evaluate a framework for optimal video rate allocation over multiple networks based on the observed Available Bit Rate (ABR) and the Round Trip Time (RTT) over each access network, as well as the video rate-distortion characteristics. The rate allocation is formulated as a convex optimization problem that minimizes the sum of all video streams expected distortion. Then, we propose an analytical JSCC scheme for error-resilient scalable encoded video, and integrate the JSCC with the specific rate allocation algorithm to improve the constructed video quality by optimally applying the appropriate channel coding rate given the constraints imposed by the transmission rate and the prevailing channel conditions. Objective and subjective simulation results are provided which demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed joint scheme.
A common task in medical image analysis is the alignment of data from different sources, e.g., X-ray images and computed tomography (CT) data. Such a task is generally known as registration. We demonstrate the applica...

Redirected walking allows users to walk through large-scale immersive virtual environments (IVEs) while physically remaining in a reasonably small workspace by intentionally injecting scene motion into the IVE. In a constant stimuli experiment with a twoalternative-forced-choice task we have quantified how much humans can unknowingly be redirected on virtual paths which are different from the paths they actually walk. 18 subjects have been tested in four different experiments: (E1a) discrimination between virtual and physical rotation, (E1b) discrimination between two successive rotations, (E2) discrimination between virtual and physical translation, and discrimination of walking direction (E3a) without and (E3b) with start-up. In experiment E1a subjects performed rotations to which different gains have been applied, and then had to choose whether or not the visually perceived rotation was greater than the physical rotation. In experiment E1b subjects discriminated between two successive rotations where different gains have been applied to the physical rotation. In experiment E2 subjects chose if they thought that the physical walk was longer than the visually perceived scaled travel distance. In experiment E3a subjects walked a straight path in the IVE which was physically bent to the left or to the right, and they estimate the direction of the curvature. In experiment E3a the gain was applied immediately, whereas the gain was applied after a start-up of two meters in experiment E3b. Our results show that users can be turned physically about 68% more or 10% less than the perceived virtual rotation, distances can be up-or down-scaled by 22%, and users can be redirected on an circular arc with a radius greater than 24 meters while they believe they are walking straight.

Statistically representative analysis of the coating layer is important if the coating structures of differently coated sheets are to be compared. State of the art measuring techniques used to evaluate parameters of coating structures are limited in their sample size. The investigation of paper cross sections with 2D analysis methods is usually in the range of some millimeters of sample length. 3D measuring techniques are limited to a sample area of a few square millimeters. Therefore a representative analysis of coating structures demands the definition of a required sample size and number of samples. This paper presents the results of a repeatability experiment designed to evaluate the necessary sample size and the number of samples for a representative evaluation of coating layer structures. The experiment was carried out with a serial sectioning technique on a 135 g/m2 woodfree coated paper. The discussion regarding the required sample size shows that an area of 5 mm 2 represents the properties of local coating thickness distributions. Furthermore, it is shown that - having a sample area of 5 mm2 - 3-5 samples have to be analyzed to obtain representative and stable results for mean, standard deviation and skewness of coating thickness and base sheet caliper distributions.
