A personal digital music library needs to be “agile”, that is, it needs to make it easy to capture and index material on the fly. A digital camera is a particularly effective...
The purpose of the paper is to introduce a new method for flexible storage of still images. The complete design of the system is described with the scalable encoding, the distorti...

One of the central problems in video transmission over lossy channels is the choice of source and channel coding rates to allocate the available transmission rate optimally. In th...
Space-filling visualizations, such as the TreeMap, are well-suited for displaying the properties of nodes in hierarchies. To browse the contents of the hierarchy, the primary mode...
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d) 1 2 ...
We present a new technique, early phase termination, for eliminating idle processors in parallel computations that use barrier synchronization. This technique simply terminates ea...
High-capacity image watermarking scheme aims at maximize bit rate of hiding information, neither eliciting perceptible image distortion nor facilitating special watermark attack. T...
X-ray imaging is an extensively used intra-operative imaging modality because of its low cost and portability. These images have to be corrected for geometric distortion in order ...
Abstract— We consider the lossy transmission of source information over Rayleigh fading channels. We investigate the utility of two channel capacity definitions, ergodic capacit...
Abstract—In this paper we study the problem of evaluating the reconstruction distortion in the wavelet domain when adaptive lifting schemes (ALS) are used for the direct and inve...
