Active Contour Segmentation with a Parametric Shape Prior: Link with the Shape Gradient
Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

Determining Achievable Rates for Secure, Zero Divergence, Steganography
In steganography (the hiding of data into innocuous covers for secret communication) it is difficult to estimate how much data can be hidden while still remaining undetectable. To...

End-to-End Delay for Hierarchical B-Pictures and Pulsed Quality Dual Frame Video Coders
Real-time video applications require tight bounds on end-to-end delay. Hierarchical bi-directional prediction requires buffering frames in the encoder input buffer, thereby contri...

Image-Based Simulation of Gaseous Material
We present a method for real-time image based simulation of gaseous material such as fire and smoke. We model the kinematics of these phenomena by a mass-spring system, and their ...

Practical Wyner-Ziv Switching Scheme for Multiple Bit-Rate Video Streaming
In this paper, we propose a novel bit-stream switching scheme for the multiple bit-rate (MBR) video streaming, in which a Wyner-Ziv coded frame is used to overcome the mismatch be...
