To improve the parallel processing capability of video coding, the emerging high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard introduces two parallel techniques, i.e., Wavefront Parallel Processing (WPP) and  Tiles , to make it much more parallel-friendly than its predecessors. However, these two techniques are designed to explore coarse-grained parallelism in HEVC encoding on multicore Central Processing Unit (CPU) platforms.

The good generalization performance of conventional pattern classifiers often relies on the size of training data labeled by costly human labor. These days, publicly available web resources grow explosively, and this allows us to easily obtain abundant and cheap web data. Yet, web data are usually not as cooperative as human labeled data. In this paper, we explore the use of web text data to aid image classification.

Recently, a novel uncoded (pseudoanalog) scheme called SoftCast is proposed for wireless video transmission, which eliminates the cliff effect of the state-of-the-art source-channel coding based schemes and achieves linear quality transition within a wide range of channel signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, SoftCast-like uncoded and hybrid transmission has become an attractive research issue for natural 2-D video. However, very few studies focus on the SoftCast-based wireless transmission of the 3-D video (3DV) currently.
