—This paper proposes a selective data pruning-based compression scheme to improve the rate-distortion relation of compressed images and video sequences. The original frames are p...
A scalable video coder cannot be equally efficient over a wide range of bit-rates unless both the video data and the motion information are scalable. We propose a wavelet-based, h...
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...
On photo sharing websites like Flickr and Zooomr, users are offered the possibility to assign tags to their uploaded pictures. Using these tags to find interesting groups of sem...
Perceptual image quality metrics have explicitly accounted for perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS) by modeling sensitivity to subband noise as the just-not...
