Video communication systems for deaf people are limited in terms of quality and performance. Analysis of visual attention mechanisms for sign language may enable optimization of video coding systems for deaf users. Eye-movement tracking experiments w...

Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I. E. G., & Hamilton, K. (2005). Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality. In IEE International Conference on Visual Information Engineering (VIE 2005) (17-22). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A20050065

Video communication systems currently provide poor quality and performance for deaf people using sign language, particularly at low bit rates. Our previous work, involving eye movement tracking experiments and analysis of visual attention mechanisms... Read More about Visual perception of content-prioritised sign language video quality..

Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I., & Leaper, S. (2003). Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language.

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...

Video telephony for the deaf: analysis and development of an optimised video compression product. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., & Richardson, I. E. G. (2002). Video telephony for the deaf: analysis and development of an optimised video compression product. In Proceedings of the tenth ACM international conference on Multimedia (650-652). https://doi.org/10.1145/641007

The multimedia capability of video telephony and video conferencing systems has many applications and benefits. This paper describes research and development that aims to optimise video compression systems for a specific application - personal commun...
