Katsaggelos 1Multimedia Communication Research Lab (MCRL), Motorola Labs, Schaumburg 2Department of Electrical Computer Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston 3Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil, Switzerland ABSTRACT following sections: in section 2, we give the definitions and formulation of the multi path summarization problem, For video communications over wireless ad hoc networks, in section 3, we develop the solution to the problem, in multiple paths with limited bandwidth are common. It therefore section 4, we present some simulation results, and in presents new challenges to the video encoding. In this paper, we section 5 we draw conclusions and outline our future formulate the problem as a multiple path video summarization work. problem under bit rate constraints, where video summaries are generated to satisfy each channel’s rate constraint, while the combined summary at the receiving end achieves the minimum 2. DEFINITIONS AND PROBLEM FORMULATION summarization distortion. The optimal solution (within a convex hull approximation) is found by Lagrangian relaxation and A video summary is a shorter version of the original video dynamic programming. Simulation results demonstrate the sequence. Video summary frames form a subset of the effectiveness of the approach. frames selected from the original video sequence. Let an
