The encoding of image partitions plays a key role in the overall efficiency of the so-called region-based image coding techniques. Recently, a method based on the novel concept o...
Traditionally, region-based image and video coding have been addressed only in the context of low and very low bit-rate coding. However, one of the most interesting by-products of...
Efficient compression algorithms generally use wavelet transforms. They try to exploit all the signal dependencies that can appear inside and across the different sub-bands of th...
Minimal surface regularization has been used in several applications ranging from stereo to image segmentation, sometimes hidden as a graph-cut discrete formulation, or as a stric...
This paper introduces a new classification scheme called “open-ended texture classification.” The standard approach for texture classification is to use a closed n-class cl...
Point Distribution Models are useful tools for modelling the variability of particular classes of shapes. A common approach is to apply a Principle Component Analysis to the data,...

Files of 3D models are often large and time-consuming to download. Most 3D viewers need the entire file to display a 3D model even when the user is interested only in a part of or...
Abstract—We describe a trellis-based algorithm which enables R-D optimum quantization decisions in the H.263+ video coding standard. The algorithm allows the quantization decisio...
