In this paper, we try to improve a video object-tracking algorithm using a motion re-estimation scheme. The usual object tracking algorithm is composed of two steps: object projec...
The use of visual information from lip movements can improve the accuracy and robustness of a speech recognition system. Accurate extraction of visual features associated with the...

The classification of general-purpose photographs into textured and non-textured images is critical for developing accurate content-based image retrieval systems for large-scale i...
In this paper we propose a novel video segmentation algorithm that is capable of reliably detecting both types of dissolves in addition to cuts and wipes based on the analysis of ...
In image based rendering (IBR), a 3D scene is recorded through a set of photos, and a novel view is rendered by assembling data from the photo set. Compression is essential to red...
This paper presents a novel wavelet-based image denoising algorithm under overcomplete expansion. In order to optimize the denoising performance, we make a systematic study of bot...
In this paper, we study rate-complexity-distortion (R-C-D) tradeoffs for video coding, where we focus on the complexity of computing the inverse DCT. A quadtree coding approach is...
In this paper, we present a class of algorithms that use a partial distance metric to speedup the motion estimation process. The partial distance metric is used within the motion ...
We present a new motion estimation framework and apply it to omni-directional imagery. Our method estimates motions incrementally using an Implicit Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF). ...
