The main objective of the MPEG Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) standard is to establish a framework for a more flexible usage of standard video coding technology. The framework ...
Leading compressed sensing (CS) methods require m = O (k log(n)) compressive samples to perfectly reconstruct a k-sparse signal x of size n using random projection matrices (e.g., ...
This article proposes a new algorithm to compute the projection on the set of images whose total variation is bounded by a constant. The projection is computed through a dual form...
Recently, adaptive interpolation filter (AIF) has received increasing attention for motion-compensated prediction (MCP). The existing methods code the filter coefficients individu...
The context-based adaptive variable length coder (CAVLC) in H.264/AVC is not appropriate for lossless video coding because it was designed for lossy video coding. Since statistica...
Intra-predictive transforms are a kind of block-based transforms that can exploit both the intra- and inter-block correlations. This paper analyzes the coding gains of intra-predi...
We propose a region-based method to extract semantic foreground regions from color video sequences with static backgrounds. First, we introduce a new distance measure for backgrou...
Facial aging has been only partially studied in the past and mostly in a qualitative way. This paper presents a novel approach to the estimation of facial aging aimed to the quanti...

Abstract. Shape classification using graphs and skeletons usually involves edition processes in order to reduce the influence of structural noise. However, edition distances can no...
Abstract. The recognition of events in videos is a relevant and challenging task of automatic semantic video analysis. At present one of the most successful frameworks, used for ob...
