About

Harsha D. Appuhami is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of video quality assessment and medical imaging, with a particular focus on the emerging field of 3D surgical video. His key research areas include 3D video compression, quality evaluation, and e-health applications. Appuhami’s most cited work, "Quality evaluation of compressed 3D surgical video" (2014), addresses a critical challenge in telemedicine: ensuring that compressed 3D video retains sufficient quality for accurate diagnosis and robotic surgery. This paper, with 4 citations, explores how 3D medical video—ranging from tele-consultation to 3D robotics surgery—can provide more natural viewing conditions, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enable precise interventions. By investigating the trade-offs between compression and perceptual quality, Appuhami contributes to the foundational understanding needed to make 3D video practical in clinical settings. His work is particularly notable for anticipating the transformative potential of 3D video in healthcare, a field that continues to grow with advances in telemedicine and surgical robotics. For students and researchers, Appuhami’s research highlights the importance of balancing technical efficiency with clinical reliability in medical video systems.
