Dynamic cloud Offloading for View Synthesis

In this paper, a dynamic offloading model is proposed to minimize the energy consumption of mobile devices by exploiting cloud computational resources for view synthesis. The computational complexity of view synthesis, the processing capability of the cloud, the processing capability and the power consumption of the mobile are considered jointly into the model to provide an optimized solution. Several simulations based on parameters of real mobile devices demonstrate that the proposed method can save an average of 42.59%(4-partition case) and 46.40%(8-partition case) of total energy on different mobile devices and an average of 67.58%(4-partition case) and 69.76%(8-partition case) of total energy under different transmitting rates than the existing algorithms for view synthesis, respectively.
