In this paper we propose an algorithm to partition MPEG-4 video objects into temporal segments with uniform activity levels. These segments can be used for efficient summarization...
The encoding of image partitions plays a key role in the overall efficiency of the so-called region-based image coding techniques. Recently, a method based on the novel concept o...
This paper deals with techniques to detect abrupt scene transitions when random brightness variations (flicker) are present. This is normally the case when trying to restore or in...
In this paper, we present a global scheme for encoding/ decoding natural video sequences with partial 3D models. This technique is based on a robust estimation of a constrained de...
In this paper, we develop a framework for efficiently encoding predictive error frames (PEF) as part of a rate scalable, wavelet-based video compression algorithm. We investigate ...
