Finally, it’s done!
Work full-time and study part-time can be touch sometimes. But after 2 years of hard working, I’ve made it through. 
My thesis is about selective decoding. As the name suggests, decoding video selectively. Zoom interface has been available for photos, web pages and maps, but few players support zoomable video. When a video is zoomed in, only part of the scene is displayed but the entire frame is decoded. It’s a waste.
The idea of selective decoding is to decode what you can see. However, simply decode those parts won’t work because video codec introduces dependencies among macroblocks. So we need to analyze the dependencies among macroblocks and try to decode the minimum.
The benefits of selective decoding comes from two aspects, higher playback frame rate and lower energy consumption.
