MCL member, Qin Huang, was awarded the Capocelli Prize at the 2017 Data Compression Conference for his paper entitled “Measure and Prediction of HEVC Perceptually Lossy/Lossless Boundary QP Values”. We are so glad to have him share about his experience in attending the conference. Here is his sharing.

Earlier in this April, I attended the Data Compression Conference 2017 in Snowbird, Utah to present our paper ‘Measure and Prediction of HEVC Perceptually Lossy/Lossless Boundary QP Values’. The work is designed to provide with a dynamic prediction framework that could help estimate the minimum encoding QPs to offer perceptually similar quality.

The conference is held on the beautiful mountain of Snowbird, and it was a really amazing experience to share our work with all the experts in the field. I met with a lot of researchers both in academy and industry, and we discussed constantly after the conference.

It was my great honor to receive the 2017 Capocelli Award, and I really appreciate all the DCC program committee for considering me for the award.

Thank you all!
