Parametric Analysis and Synthesis of Sound Scenes for Perceptual Spatial Audio Reproduction
Spatial sound reproduction methods for recorded sound scenes are an active field of research, in parallel with the evolving vision-related or multi-modal technologies that aim to deliver a new generation of immersive multimedia content to…
RLGR Entropy Coder
We have developed an efficient entropy coder for integer value data. We refer to this compression algorithm as a Run-Length Golomb-Rice (RLGR) coder. The RLGR coder is very simple to implement, and uses backward adaptation…
JPEG XR
The still image compression format now known as JPEG XR has its roots at Microsoft Research. It started as the Progressive Transform Codec (PTC), which we designed back in 1999 as an alternative to JPEG 2000.…
Microsoft Research Cambridge Student Experience Day 2016
At Microsoft Research Cambridge we are committed to inspiring and supporting the next generation of computer scientists, and were delighted to be able to offer a one-day exclusive experience to selected students from the UK.
Holoportation
Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time. When combined with mixed reality displays…
Video Analysis
Video has become ubiquitous on the Internet, broadcasting channels, as well as that captured by personal devices. This has encouraged the development of advanced techniques to analyze the semantic video content for a wide variety…
