Progressive coding is an important feature of compression schemes. Wavelet coders are well suited for this purpose because the wavelet coefficients can be naturally ordered accord...
A major problem in object oriented video coding and MPEG-4 is the encoding of object boundanes. Traditionally, and within MPEG-4, the encodingof shape and textureinformationare se...

This paper presents an edge-enhancing super-resolution algorithm using anisotropic diffusion technique. Because we solve the super-resolution problem by incorporatinganisotropic d...
In this paper, we propose an image-based approach to synthesize a novel view image for mixed reality (MR) systems. Theoretically, the image- based method is good for synthesizing ...
This paper proposes a search method for detecting known objects quickly in 3D environments with a pan-tilt-zoom camera. In our previous work, we proposed an algorithm named Active...
We present a robust and portable visual-based skin and face detection system developed for use in a multiple speaker teleconferencing system, employing both audio and video cues. ...
