The method of stochastic state classes approaches the analysis of Generalised Semi Markov Processes (GSMP) through symbolic derivation of probability density functions over Differe...
SP-frame is a new picture type supported by H.264, and supports functions such as rate-switching and random-access. In this paper, we investigate several complementary methods to ...
The maximization of a full-rank quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard in both a worst-case sense and an average sense. Interestingly, if the rank of the form is not a ...
In this paper, we show how to estimate, accurately and efficiently, the 3D motion of a rigid or non-rigid object, and time-varying lighting in a dynamic scene. This is achieved i...
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
