Background
The objective of the Real-Time Video Coding group is to research and develop intelligent
multimedia software components and delivery systems that adapt to congested and low
infrastructure network environments. The emphasis is on jointly-optimised or co-
operative behaviour between the delivery context, as in real-time network conditions, and
the video/audio encoder rate control mechanisms. Innovative solutions are sought to
enhance the Internet video experience in a developing world context where bandwidth is
a scarce resource.
Current research within the group is concentrating on optimal and weighted context-
based bit allocation techniques and implementations within international standard video
codecs. A scalable and bandwidth adaptive multimedia broadcasting platform is under
development to encompass the novelty of the bit allocation research.
