This paper presents a novel shot segmentation algorithm on the H.264/AVC video, which operates in the compressed domain. First, the algorithm exploits the intra prediction mode hi...
For almost a decade, Content-Based Image Retrieval has been an active research area, yet one fundamental problem remains largely unsolved: how to measure perceptual similarity. To...
In this paper, a new recursive algorithm is proposed for optimal estimation of similarity measure used in a content-based retrieval system. This is performed through a relevance f...
We consider the problem of characterization of spatial region data such as the regions of interest (ROIs) in medical images. We propose a method that efficiently extracts a k-dime...
A multiple description scalar quantization (MDSQ) based coding system can be regarded as a source coder (quantizer) followed by a channel coder, i.e. the combination of index and ...
