3D medical video transmission over 4G networks

Published: 26 October 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Enabling 3D video in e-health applications results in the provision of more natural viewing conditions and improved diagnosis. Recent advances in wireless communications, network technologies and 3D video capture/display mechanisms enable the replacement of 2D video applications of current healthcare services with 3D video, to provide improved perception and diagnosis. Remote surgery and surgery training can benefit in particular from 3D video due to the added dimension of depth. This paper envisages a wireless health system which transmits 3D surgical video over a 3GPP LTE network. The quality of the received 3D video is measured both objectively and subjectively for several packet sizes.
