Region-based functionality offered by the MPEG-4 video compression standard is also appealing for still images, for example to permit object-based queries of a still-image database...
The use of overcomplete sets of vectors (redundant bases or frames) together with quantization is explored as an alternative to transform coding for signal compression. The goal i...
—JPEG2000 is an upcoming compression standard for still images that has a feature set well tuned for diverse data dissemination. These features are possible due to adaptation of ...
Geometry compression for VRML has been an important item on the wish-list of the Web3D Consortium since 1996. It was widely understood that a binary format would be required to al...
Many numerical solutions of large scale simulation models require finer discretizations in some regions of the computational grid. When this region is not known in advance, adapti...
