Research Interests
Paul is working on various communications and video coding related
issues in portable video research.
Object-based coding for mobile
terminals and contributions to second-generation very low bit-rate video
compression algorithms are the primary concerns. Motion
field segmentation and coding are being investigated. Such object/region
based techniques define every region in the segmented data as a primitive,
and encode the information regarding its shape and interior information
along with its motion. These advanced algorithms
will significantly reduce the unwanted image artifacts present
in current compression standards at very low bit-rates.
His other research interests include: multiple access, wireless/PCN,
mobile/satellite PCS systems,
video compression techniques, hardware for video coding, multimedia and ATM
communications.
