Distributed coding for interactive communication

The availability of wireless camera sensors has also been spurring interest for a variety of applications ranging from scene interpretation, object tracking and security environment monitoring. In such camera sensor networks, communication energy and bandwidth are scarce resources, motivating the search for new distributed image processing and coding solutions suitable for band and energy limited networking environments. Our goal is to address theoretical issues such as the problem of modeling the correlation channel between sources, and to practical coding solutions for distributed processing and communication and for interactive streaming.
