EECS Colloquium

Abstract

Videoconferencing today is a business tool for meetings at a distance. Providing reliable video, audio, and data communication among several meeting participants presents a multitude of technological problems: data compression for efficient signal transmission, acoustic signal enhancement for echo cancellation and noise reduction, 3-D motion control of cameras, data communication protocols for efficient information multiplexing, high resolution displays, and others.

The talk will discuss those engineering problems, present some of the currently available technologies to solve them, and address new research directions.
