Cloud Based Image/Video Coding: Improving efficiency and QoE

The work carried out in this WP includes scientific and technological research tasks carried out in order to design and implement a cloud-based holographic and plenotic coding method, which allows a good performance of the encoder in relation to encoding time, throughput and QoE.
