Gradient-based optical flow estimation methods such as LucasKanade method work well for scenes with small displacements but fail when objects move with large displacements. Hierar...
Video segmentation is among the most important challenges of video processing and compression (MPEG-4 and MPEG-7). A drawback of classical methods is the computational cost due to...
The majority of today's content based image retrieval systems rely on low-level image descriptors which limit their capability to support meaningful interactions with the use...
Sprite coding is a very efficient method for the representation and compression of background video object, which has been accepted by MPEG-4 standard. However, how to automatical...
In this paper, we present a novel adaptive thresholding technique based upon an anisotropic diffusionmodel, whichmay be referred to as the anti-geometric heat flow. In contrast to...
