Light field rendering is an approach to synthesize virtual views of a scene from a set of original images. When minimizing the number of images for rendering, the light field may ...
Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging is a potentially valuable tool for diagnosing breast and prostate cancer, but its clinical deployment is limited due to lo...
In this paper we propose a new method for human action categorization by using an effective combination of a new 3D gradient descriptor with an optic flow descriptor, to represent...
In document image recognition, orientation detection of the scanned page is necessary for the following procedures to work correctly as they assume that the text is well oriented....
In this paper, we propose a local cost aggregation approach for real time stereo vision on a graphics processing unit (GPU). Recent research shows that local approaches based on c...
Sprite-based video coding offers higher compression efficiency than conventional block-based hybrid video coders. In sprite coding a sequence is divided into a model of its backgr...
This paper proposes a novel method for rapid and robust human detection and tracking based on the omega-shape features of people's head-shoulder parts. There are two modules ...
We describe a framework for quantifying color image distortion based on an adaptive signal decomposition. Specifically, local blocks of the image error are decomposed using a set ...
The analytic signature is a recently proposed 2D shape representation scheme. It is tailored to the representation of shapes described by arbitrary sets of unlabeled points, or la...
We consider rate allocation for multiple video users sharing a constant bitrate channel. Previously, overall quality of multiple users was improved by exploiting relative complexi...
