A commonly used type of search tree is the alphabetic binary tree, which uses (without loss of generality) "less than" versus "greater than or equal to" tests ...
New video codink standards such as H.264 offer the flexibility to select from a number of reference frames for motion-estimation for a given predicted frame. In this paper, we pro...
In this paper, a one-pass multi-layer rate-distortion optimization algorithm is proposed for quality scalable video coding. To improve the overall coding efficiency, the MB mode ...
We present a general, simple feature representation of sequences that allows efficient inexact matching, comparison and classification of sequential data. This approach, recently ...
The typical difficulty of various NP-hard problems varies with simple parameters describing their structure. This behavior is largely independent of the search algorithm, but depe...
