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...
The estimation of productivity rates in cyclic construction processes is a difficult, but essential task in the planning of construction projects. The conventional method--a calcu...
Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
