Background subtraction is a crucial step in many automatic video content analysis applications. While numerous acceptable techniques have been proposed so far for background extra...
In this paper we consider an object categorization system using local HMAX features. Two feature matching techniques are compared: the MAX technique, originally proposed in the HMA...
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, named as Spatially Varying Transform (SVT). The basic idea of SVT is that we do not restrict the transform coding inside normal block b...

A motion aligned spatial scalable video coding scheme (MA-SSC) is proposed in this paper. Different from the traditional spatial scalable coding schemes derived from MPEG-2, in th...
