— A new rate control algorithm for the H.264 encoder is developed in this work. There are several unique features in the proposed rate control scheme. First, a two-stage encoding...
Wireless communication of video poses constraints on information capacity. Region-of-Interest (ROI) video coding provides higher quality in the ROI, but poorer quality in the back...
This paper presents an e cient recursive algorithm for generating operationally optimal intra mode scalable layer decompositions of object contours. The problem is posed in terms ...
Kernel machines are a popular class of machine learning algorithms that achieve state of the art accuracies on many real-life classification problems. Kernel perceptrons are among...
—This paper presents an operational rate-distortion (ORD) optimal approach for skeleton-based boundary encoding. The boundary information is first decomposed into skeleton and di...
