In this paper we present a new descriptor for spatial distribution of motion activity in video sequences. We construct a histogram of areas of distinct regions (or "blobs&quo...
In this paper a new very low bit rate scalable encoding principle is presented. It is based on hierarchical triangular mesh encoding combined with triangle based DCT coding. Affin...
Contact lens wearers are often affected by a condition known as conjuctival hyperaemia. This condition is characterised by dilated blood vessels visible in the sclera (the white p...

We propose an ordinal-basedmeasure of image similarity. Thismeasureisbased on a recentlydevelopedgeneralframework for image correspondence and incorporates regionbased spatial inf...
When working in image and video segmentation, the major objective is to design an algorithm producing the appropriate segmentation results for the particular goals of the applicat...
A new paradigm for the efficient color-based tracking of objects seen from a moving camera is presented. The proposed technique employs the mean shift analysis to derive the targe...
Any real-time interactive video coding algorithm used over the Internet needs to be able to cope with packet loss, since the existing error recovery mechanisms are not suitable fo...
Joint space-frequency segmentation is a relatively new image compression technique that finds the rate-distortion optimal representation of an image from a large set of possible s...
We consider the use of meta-data and/or video-domain methods to detect similar videos on the web. Meta-data is extracted from the textual and hyperlink information associated with...
The rapid progress of computers and today's heterogeneous computing environment means computation-intensive signal processing algorithms must be optimized for performance in ...
