In this paper, we present a scalable (i.e. lossy-to-lossless) watermark scheme based on a recently standardized scalable audio coder – AAZ [4]. The proposed framework enables th...
We present a streaming media test bed for IP networks. Besides a streaming server and a streaming media client, it consists of an IP network emulator, a high-performance packet ca...
This paper introduces a new approach of approximating the selectivity of multimedia range queries. Estimating the selectivity of a range query is a pre-requisite to optimize a mul...
Multimedia applications like MPEG-2 video produce packets with multiple levels of importance from application quality point of view. We propose a traffic policing mechanism for s...
In this paper, we present an object tracking algorithm for the low-frame-rate video in which objects have fast motion. The conventional mean-shift tracking fails in case the reloc...
