A novel algorithm is described for coding objects in video compression systems which gives complete control over the bit allocation to the video objects. The method is evaluated b...
We propose an adaptive figure-ground classification algorithm to automatically extract a foreground region using a user-provided bounding-box. The image is first over-segmented wi...
The advance of technology makes video acquisition devices better and less costly, thereby increasing the number of applications that can effectively utilize digital video. Compare...
We present techniques to semi-automatically discover Recurrent Visual Semantics (RVS) -the repetitive appearance of visually similar elements such as objects and scenes- in consum...

We present global routing optimization methods which are not based on rip-up and re-route framework. In particular, the routing optimization is based on trunk decomposition [13] o...
