RATS is short for Real-time Adaptive Three-sixty Streaming, a software that was mainly developed by Trevor Ballardt while he stayed at TU Darmstadt and worked for the MAKI SFB. RATS was used in a test case of the H2020 project 5Genesis, which is preparing to showcase 5G during the Festival of Lights 2020 in Berlin. The test was conducted at

The main idea is to be able to capture and analyze the geometry of these interior environments. Despite the considerable amount of work put in indoor reconstruction over the past years, all implementations suffer from various limitation and we still have yet

Today there is a trend towards reconstruction of 3D scenes with movement over time, in both image-based and point cloud based reconstruction systems. The main challenge in point cloud-based systems is the lack of data. Most of the existing data sets are made from 3D-reconstructed meshes, but the density of these constructions is unrealistic. In order to do proper research
Read moreWhen writing papers or theses, Latex is the tool of choice for computer science students and researchers. In contrast to WYSIWYG word processors, whether they are locally installed or cloud-based, Latex emphasizes your ability to write text and deals with the layout on your behalf. Even if Latex’s decisions about placing figures and tables are not exactly controllable and not

In this work, we investigate wether the most recent Forward Error Correction (FEC) draft is suitable for realtime wireless multicast live streaming, with emphasis on three main points: packet reduction effectivity, and latency and overhead impact. We design and perform an experiment

Classification societies date back to the second half of the 18th century, where marine insurers developed a system for independent technical assessment of the ships presented to them for insurance cover. Today, a major part of a classification society’s responsibilities is to review the designs of enormous maritime vessels. This usually involves working with big and complex 3D

Questions like “Is VR ready for adoption?”, “How does VR design differ from design for monocular systems?” are two examples of fundamental questions yet to addressed. In this paper a scientific

Today’s software systems reach easily hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and such systems do frequently benefit from the use of state machines, which help in managing system complexity by guaranteeing completeness and consistency. To visualize such state machines, statecharts have been introduced, which also offer a formalism for orthogonal and hierarchical states. Many developers use state

In recent years there have been a shift towards using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for delivery of layered, segmented, video content. These solutions go under the name HTTP Adaptive bit-rate Streaming (HAS). One of the streaming solutions using this is the recent international streaming

In addition to these cancers, numerous other chronic diseases affect the human GI tract. The most common ones include gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease and chronic infections. All have a significant
