Streaming of rendered content with adaptive frame rate and resolution

Streaming rendered content is an attractive way to bring high-quality graphics to billions of mobile devices that do not have sufficient rendering power. Existing solutions render content on a server at a fixed frame rate, typically 30 or 60 frames per second, and reduce resolution when bandwidth is restricted. However, this strategy leads to suboptimal rendering quality under the bandwidth constraints. In this work, we exploit the spatio-temporal limits of the human visual system to improve perceived quality while reducing rendering costs by adaptively adjusting both frame rate and resolution based on scene content and motion. Our approach is codec-agnostic and requires only minimal modifications to existing rendering infrastructure. We propose a system in which a lightweight neural network predicts the optimal combination of frame rate and resolution for a given transmission bandwidth, content, and motion velocity. This prediction significantly enhances perceptual quality while minimizing computational cost under bandwidth constraints. The network is trained on a large dataset of rendered content labeled with a perceptual video quality metric. The dataset and further information can be found at the project web page: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/rainbow/projects/adaptive_streaming/.

Convolutional Neural Networks with A Topographic Representation Module for EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces

Objective: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown great potential in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). The raw Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is usually represented as 2-Dimensional (2-D) matrix composed of channels and time points, which ignores the spatial topological information. Our goal is to make the CNN with the raw EEG signal as input have the ability to learn EEG spatial topological features, and improve its performance while essentially maintaining its original structure. Methods:We propose an EEG Topographic Representation Module (TRM). This module consists of (1) a mapping block from the raw EEG signal to a 3-D topographic map and (2) a convolution block from the topographic map to an output of the same size as input. According to the size of the kernel used in the convolution block, we design 2 types of TRMs, namely TRM-(5,5) and TRM-(3,3). We embed the TRM into 3 widely used CNNs, and tested them on 2 publicly available datasets (Emergency Braking During Simulated Driving Dataset (EBDSDD), and High Gamma Dataset (HGD)). Results: The results show that the classification accuracies of all 3 CNNs are improved on both datasets after using the TRM. With TRM-(5,5), the average accuracies of DeepConvNet, EEGNet and ShallowConvNet are improved by 6.54%, 1.72% and 2.07% on EBDSDD, and by 6.05%, 3.02% and 5.14% on HGD, respectively; with TRM-(3,3), they are improved by 7.76%, 1.71% and 2.17% on EBDSDD, and by 7.61%, 5.06% and 6.28% on HGD, respectively. Significance: We improve the classification performance of 3 CNNs on 2 datasets by the use of TRM, indicating that it has the capability to mine the EEG spatial topological information. In addition, since the output of TRM has the same size as the input, CNNs with the raw EEG signal as input can use this module without changing their original structures.

EEG-Based Detection of Braking Intention During Simulated Driving

Accurately detecting and identifying drivers' braking intention is the basis of man-machine driving. In this paper, we proposed an electroencephalographic (EEG)-based braking intention measurement strategy. We used the Car Learning to Act (Carla) platform to build the simulated driving environment. 11 subjects participated in our study, and each subject drove a simulated vehicle to complete emergency braking and normal braking tasks. We compared the EEG topographic maps in different braking situations and used three different classifiers to predict the subjects' braking intention through EEG signals. The experimental results showed that the average response time of subjects in emergency braking was 762 ms; emergency braking and no braking can be well distinguished, while normal braking and no braking were not easy to be classified; for the two different types of braking, emergency braking and normal braking had obvious differences in EEG topographic maps, and the classification results also showed that the two were highly distinguishable. This study provides a user-centered driver-assistance system and a good framework to combine with advanced shared control algorithms, which has the potential to be applied to achieve a more friendly interaction between the driver and vehicle in real driving environment.
