Fast stream joiner for next-generation interactive video

This paper presents a proposal of a new video provisioning scheme that enables numerous multiple users to access any view area with any desired resolution interactively. The basis is that the tile-based encoded multiple streams are joined dynamically and delivered based on the user´s view-area position. This paper details a tile-based video coding scheme and a fast tile stream joiner scheme. Simulation experiments and our practical implementation illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed scheme.
