IBC2024 Tech Papers: Large Multimodal Model-based Video Encoding Optimization

This paper demonstrates that our LMM-based approach not only significantly reduces the computational complexity required for sampling based per-title video encoding—by an astounding 13 times—but also maintains the same level of bitrate saving. These findings not only pave the way for more efficient and adaptive video encoding strategies but also highlight the potential of multi-modal models in enhancing multimedia processing tasks.

IBC2024 Tech Papers: Live music in virtual immersive spaces

This paper presents approaches the BBC has been trialling for delivering live events into virtual immersive spaces. Trials are being run to explore the use of low-latency volumetric capture technology of the artists, to allow virtual attendees, through their avatars, to interact with the performer and each other. Other trials are looking at the capture of performers in larger spaces such as stages at a festival, relying on 2/2.5D video approaches.
