In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
Network Coding (NC) can be efficiently combined with the "physical layer broadcast" property of wireless mediums to facilitate mutual exchange of independent information...
Image thresholding is one of the most common image processing operations, since almost all image processing schemes need some sort of separation of the pixels into different class...

A multimodal face verification process is presented for standard 2D color images, 2.5D range images and 3D meshes. A normalization in orientation and position is essential for 2.5...
In this effort, we propose a new image fusion technique, utilizing Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), for improved face recognition. EMD is a non-parametric datadriven analysis t...

An end-to-end rate-distortion optimized motion estimation method for robust video coding in lossy networks is proposed. In this method the expected reconstructed distortion after ...
In this paper, we address the problem of 3D Model transmission over error-prone channels using multiple description coding (MDC). The objective of MDC is to encode a source into m...
In this paper, we present a novel occlusion detection scheme for hidden Markov modeled shapes. First, hidden Markov model (HMM) is built using multiple examples of the shape. A re...
Whilst the physical mechanism used by the eye to accommodate has been known since the mid 19th century, there have been few suggestions as to the method by which the human visual ...
