This paper describes a platform for video conferencing on Information Super Highway. In this paper we de-sign a Multi-Multicast Server(MCS) and the platform. The platform uses Multi-MultiCast Server for multitasking IP Multicast data on IP over ATM. Based on Multicast Address Resolution Server (AMRS) which was proposed in this paper the platform maps from D class IP addresses to ATM addresses. MARS handles a recovery in case of MCS down. This paper also presents a solving mechanism for handling botteneck by using the MCS.

In this paper, we describe the design, implementation and evaluation for a multimedia conferencing system with intramedia and intermedia synchronization support between audio and video. The synchronization mechanism proposed here is capable of dynamically adapting to various network conditions thus providing an optimized QoS. In realizing the system based on this mechanism, NeVoT on Mbone is used for audio and VIC for video. Furthermore a synchromization controller is designed and realized with a unique process in supporting intermedia synchronization. Each media agents handling its media stream are modified with intramedia synchronization function. And a communicative function between media agents and synchronization controller is added as well for intermedia synchronization function. Each media agents function reports its buffering status to the synchronization control process which in turn send out optimized buffering delay value thus supporting intermedia synchronization. The realized system is configured and tested on Ethernet and ATM network where performance measurements were performed and its effective synchronization support has been assured.

Owing to high speed internet technologies, video conferencing systems are exploited in our home as well as work places using a laptop or a webcam. Although eye contact in the video conferencing system is significant, most systems do not support good eye contact due to improper locations of cameras. Several ideas have been proposed to solve the eye contact problem; however, some of them require complicated hardware configurations and expensive customized hardwares. In this paper, we propose a simple eye gaze correction method using the three-dimensional (3D) affine transformation. We also apply an image in-painting method to fill empty holes that are caused by round-off errors from the coordinate transformation. From experiments, we obtained visually improved results.

This paper addresses an eye location algorithm which is essential process of human face tracking system for natural video-conferencing. In current video-conferencing systems, user's facial movements are restricted by fixed camera, therefore it is inconvenient to users. We Propose an eye location algorithm for automatic face tracking. Because, locations of other facial features guessed from locations of eye and scale of face in the image can be calculated using inter-ocular distance. Most previous feature extraction methods for face recognition system are approached under assumption that approximative face region or location of each facial feature is known. The proposed algorithm in this paper uses no prior information on the given image. It is not sensitive to backgrounds and lighting conditions. The proposed algorithm uses the valley representation as major information to locate eyes. The experiments have been performed for 213 frames of 17 people and show very encouraging results.

The purpose of this study was to explore children and robot interaction in distant language learning environments using three different video-conferencing technologies-two traditional screen-based videoconference technologies and a telepresence robot. One American and six Korean elementary school students participated in our case study. We relied on narratives of one-on-one interviews and observation of nonverbal cues in robot assisted language learning. Our findings suggest that participants responded more positively to interactions via a telepresence robot than to two screen-based video-conferencings, with many citing a stronger sense of immediacy during robot-mediated communications.

In this paper, we propose a real time video codec adapter for enabling video communications with terminals having a codec which is different from each other. When multimedia services are playing with an office service phone such as a video phone or software phone which has video capability, each terminal is not being considered to have optimized video or voice codec. So when a video phone with only one type of video codec is used in the video streaming service which requires another type of codec, the streaming service is not successful without codec transformation. The real time codec adapter in this paper provides a real time code transformation which enables communication services such as video conferencing between terminals which have different codec.

The motion-based video segmentation provides a powerful method of video compression, because it defines a region with similar motion, and it makes video compression system to more efficiently describe motion video. In this paper, we propose the Modified Fuzzy Competitive Learning Algorithm (MFCLA) to improve the traditional K-menas clustering algorithm to implement the motion-based video segmentation efficiently. The segmented region is described with the affine model, which consists of only six parameters. This affine model was calculated with optical flow, describing the movements of pixels by frames. This method could be applied in the low bit rate video transmission, such as video conferencing system.
