— In this paper a method for the fast determination of distortion-based optimal unequal error protection (UEP) of bitstreams generated by embedded image coders is described. The ...
— A progressive and scalable, region of interest (ROI) image coding scheme based on matching pursuits (MP) is presented. Matching pursuit is a multi-resolutional signal analysis ...
We present a surface compression method that stores surfaces as wavelet-compressed signed-distance volumes. Our approach enables the representation of surfaces with complex topolo...

Most existing ULP (unequal loss protection) schemes do not consider the minimum quality requirement and usually have high computation complexity. Previously, we proposed a layered...
This chapter presents a generic internal reward system that drives an agent to increase the complexity of its behavior. This reward system does not reinforce a predefined task. It...
