[4eyes] FW: Video Coding Seminar next Wednesday

[Matthew Turk]

FYI.... The speaker has been very active in video coding standards for many
years and is a regular contributor to the standards.  He is co-editing a
book on the HEVC standard that is due out soon.

Abstract:

Video traffic is dominating both the wireless and wireline networks. 
Globally, IP video is expected to be 73% of all IP traffic in 2017, up from
60% in 2012. On wireless networks, video is expected to be 66% of global
mobile data traffic in 2017, compared to 51% at the end of 2012 (Cisco VNI
forecast). Additionally broadcasters and TV manufacturers are moving from
1080p HD to 4K Ultra-HD with 4K TVs already available in the market for
early adopters. The explosive growth in video traffic and the increasing
requirements for higher video resolution are driving the need for increased
compression. The latest video coding standard called High Efficiency Video
Coding (HEVC/H.265) has been developed to address these needs by delivering
50% higher compression than the current state of the art, H.264/AVC. This
talk will give an overview of HEVC/H.265 and the key improvements over
H.264/AVC. It will also highlight recent work in the standards body on HEVC
extensions on range extensions, scalable coding, and multiview coding.

Bio:

Madhukar Budagavi is a Senior Member Technical Staff at Texas Instruments
and leads the Compression R&D branch in the Embedded Processing R&D Center
in Dallas, TX, USA. His responsibilities in TI include R&D on compression
algorithms, their embedded software implementation and prototyping, and
video SoC architecture for TI products in addition to video coding standards
participation. Dr. 
Budagavi represents TI in ITU and ISO/IEC international video coding
standardization activity. He has been an active participant in the next
generation video coding standard HEVC being standardized by JCTVC committee
of ITU and ISO/IEC. Within the JCTVC committee he has helped co-ordinate
sub-group activities on spatial transforms, quantization, entropy coding,
in-loop filter, intra prediction, screen content coding and scalable HEVC
(SHVC). Dr. Budagavi received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering
from Texas A & M University in 1998. He has published six book chapters and
over 35 conference and journal papers. 
He is currently co-editing a book on HEVC algorithms and architecture. 
He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
