Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition techniques have offered an alternative to the traditional 2D metamorphosis (or morphing) approaches, which gradually cha...
Local features are widely used for content-based image retrieval and object recognition. We present an efficient method for encoding digital images suitable for local feature extr...

This paper describes a fully automatic content-based approach for browsing and retrieval of MPEG-2 compressed video. The first step of the approach is the detection of shot bound...
While computing power and transmission bandwidth have both been steadily increasing over the last few years, bandwidth rather than processing power remains the primary bottleneck f...
