As the technology is achieving a non-feasible zenith of complexity and quality in video, it is important to maintain the related size of each file at a low level to be able to run the video on devices with limited space like phones. In this regard, different video codecs and containers have been brought forward so that a lower level of information…

Currently, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are used in many areas, such as intelligent transportation, smart city, hospital, games, education. Earlier interactive response system uses infrared or radio frequency (RF) wireless communication technologies to transmit the students' answer to teachers' management system, where there exists high…

Video compression and communication has been an important field over the past decades and critical for many applications, e.g., video on demand, video-conferencing, and remote education.
