ACM MMSys is a premier conference on multimedia. The awarded paper results from a collaborative project between Yan and researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.https://illinois.edu/ </p> <p>Of his paper, Yan writes, “Image compression standards such as JPEG and its variants designed for human viewing are no longer the optimal choice for emerging video analytics applications where machines and computer algorithms are the end consumers. We show in this paper that it is necessary and feasible to achieve fast and compact image compression while maximizing the accuracy of image classification and object detection algorithms through a machine-centered design.” </p> <p>To read the paper, “Context-aware Image Compression Optimization for Visual Analytics Offloading,” go to <a href="https://mason.gmu.edu/~zyan4/papers/cico_mmsys22.pdf">https://mason.gmu.edu/~zyan4/papers/cico_mmsys22.pdf</a>. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_content_topics" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-content-topics"> <h2>Topics</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-content-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Topics</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/481" hreflang="en">systems engineering</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/136" hreflang="en">information sciences and technology</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 03 Nov 2022 16:36:28 +0000 Teresa Donnellan 791 at https://ist.sitemasonry.gmu.edu
