We consider the problem of estimating and encoding depth maps from multiple views in the context of 3D-TV with free-viewpoint rendering. We propose a novel codec based on the Rate...
—We consider a new problem in network image coding for multicast. In a multihop mesh network, structured as a directed graph, all nodes decode and display reconstructions of the ...
In this paper, an algorithm for image coding based on a sparse 3-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (3D DCT) is studied. The algorithm is essentially a method for achieving a su...
An embedded wavelet coder is proposed for arbitrarily shaped image objects. Contrary to the popular approach of considering transparent regions surrounding image objects as perman...
A novel object dependent coding scheme based on optimization upon wavelet packet trees is proposed. The method may be employed in the context of object oriented video standard MPE...
