world’s top-level international journals, such as IEEE Transactions
on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for
Video Technology and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia. One of his papers “New Adaptive
Pixel Decimation for Block Motion Vector Estimation” has been ranked as the most cited
paper in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and System for Video
Technology since 1990. His research interests
include multimedia technologies, signal processing, image and video
compression, video streaming, video transcoding, video conferencing,
digital TV/HDTV, 3DTV/3DV, Multiview plus
depth coding, machine learning for video coding, and future video
coding standards including Versatile Video Coding (VVC), screen
content coding, light-field video coding, and 360-degree
omnidirectional video coding.
