The spatial resolution of the human visual system (HVS) decreases rapidly away from the point of fixation (foveation point). By exploiting this fact, we propose a watermarking app...
The quantization parameter (QP) has a very important impact on the compression rate in H.264. In this paper we show that in order to achieve efficient rate-control coding a good e...
The H.264/AVC provides gains in compression efficiency of up to 50% over a wide range of bit rates and video resolutions compared to previous standards. However, these features inc...
We propose a novel system-level error tolerance approach specifically targeted for multimedia compression algorithms. In particular we focus on the motion estimation process perf...
Automatic facial feature extraction is one of the most important and attempted problems in computer vision. It is a necessary step in face recognition, facial image compression an...
