Researchers at Stanford University, UCSB and MIT have invented a novel video compression pipeline, called Txt2Vid, which substantially reduces data transmission rates by compressing webcam videos ("talking-head videos") to a text transcript.
Mobile devices often connect to the network via wireless channels. In general, the downlink of the wireless channel (e.g., the cellular access network) is limited in throughput.
Stanford researchers developed and patented a receiver-based playout scheduling scheme in conjunction with improved playout algorithms to reduce packet buffering delay and packet loss for VoIP communication.
Researchers at Stanford University have over come some of the critical challenges for wireless broadband users to remain connected in highly mobile environments.
