Description
The project A-VISION aimed at developing and integrating in an existing V2OIP stack novel tools for enhanced video-conferencing applications in the domain of IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). The new functionality includes face tracking and recognition, selective coding and rendering adapted to different device features, bi-modal authentication for secure access, automatic quality adaptation, standard and seamless multi-protocol and multi-network adaptation. Devices that were considered include desktop/laptop computers, and gsm/Wi-Fi PDAs and Smartphones.
Research activities
A-VISION includes technology integration and demonstration as well as research and development in advanced technology domains where the three partners are leaders.
- Face tracking adapted to portable devices
- Multi-modal authentication systems
- Automatic video quality measurement
- Fixed-Mobile Voice-Data Convergence: Anywhere-Anyhow
