• Abstract summary: HEVC is very promising for real-time video streaming through Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) A low complexity cross-layer mechanism is proposed to improve end-to-end performances of HEVC video streaming in VANET under low delay constraints. The proposed mechanism offers significant improvements regarding video quality at the reception and end-to-end delay compared to the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) adopted in the 802.11p.

• Abstract: Vehicular communication has become a reality guided by various applications. Among those, high video quality delivery with low latency constraints required by real-time applications constitutes a very challenging task. By dint of its never-before-achieved compression level, the new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is very promising for real-time video streaming through Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET). However, these networks have variable channel quality and limited bandwidth. Therefore, ensuring satisfactory video quality on such networks is a major challenge. In this work, a low complexity cross-layer mechanism is proposed to improve end-to-end performances of HEVC video streaming in VANET under low delay constraints. The idea is to assign to each packet of the transmitted video the most appropriate Access Category (AC) queue on the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, considering the temporal prediction structure of the video encoding process, the importance of the frame and the state of the network traffic load. Simulation results demonstrate that for different targeted low-delay video communication scenarios, the proposed mechanism offers significant improvements regarding video quality at the reception and end-to-end delay compared to the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) adopted in the 802.11p. Both Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) evaluations have been also carried out to validate the proposed approach.

  Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) rely on larger models and heavier attention mechanisms, resulting in slower inference speeds. We introduce a training-free method to accelerate video DiTs, termed Adaptive Caching (AdaCache) We also introduce a Motion Regularization (MoReg) scheme to utilize video information within AdaCache, controlling the compute allocation based on motion content.

  The increased resolution of real-world videos presents a dilemma between efficiency and accuracy for deep Video Quality Assessment (VQA) In this work, we propose a unified scheme, spatial-temporal grid mini-cube sampling (St-GMS) to get a novel type of sample, named fragments. With fragments and FANet, the proposed efficient end-to-end FAST-VQA and FasterVQA achieve significantly better performance than existing approaches on all VQA benchmarks.
