Multimedia Systems and Applications

Suggested Projects
(Detailed Descriptions Forthcoming)

This page contains a number of suggested projects. You can get some other ideas by looking at the projects from last year. You don't have to choose one of these projects, but this list will give you some ideas.

  1. GIS Map Interface for Browsing Video
  2. RTP Payload/CODEC for Sony DVCAM Format
  3. Question Board Extensions and Experiments
  4. RTP Error Correcting Gateway
  5. Data Collection/Analysis of IP-Multicast
  6. Network Simulation of Bandwidth Reservation versus Forward Error Recovery
  7. Pentium/MMX CODEC Implementation
  8. Pentium/MMX Effects Operation Implementation
  9. Ultrasparc/VIZ CODEC Implementation
  10. Ultrasparc/VIZ Effects Operation Implementation
  11. Compare Pentium/MMX and Ultrasparc/VIZ
  12. Active Movie RTP/Multicast Objects
  13. Parallel MPEG2 Decoder
  14. Parallel MPEG2 Encoder
  15. Network Rendering Service Interface
  16. Parallel Video Production Switcher Algorithm Implementation
  17. Pentium/MMX Echo Cancellation
    Write code to compare performance of current Pentium/MMX architecture with Alpha workstation architectures performing echo cancellation. The idea is to replicae the experiments done by DEC researchers 5 years ago. You can get a copy of the paper from
    http://www.research.digital.com/CRL/abstracts/92.10.html
    Try to build this into vat or some other audio capture/replay tool. The goal is to: 1) assess impact of MMX on this type of problem, 2) publish a paper, and 3) build something that works.
  18. Ubiquitous Video Desktop Operations
  19. Distributed VOD System UI
  20. Asset Management Database and GUI
  21. Multimedia Title Develop Management System
  22. Study trade-off of delay and performance of RTP
  23. Error-Corrected Reliable Multicast
