Face localization is the process of finding the exact position of a face in a given image. This can be useful in several applications such as face tracking or person authenticatio...
We present a new model for the extraction of networks from images in the presence of occlusions. Such occlusions cause gaps in the extracted network that need to be closed. Using ...
In this paper, an information theoretic framework for image segmentation is presented. This approach is based on the information channel that goes from the image intensity histogr...
DCT-based CODECs such as MPEG-4 Visual and H.263 "skip" many macroblocks during encoding of typical video sequences (i.e. no coded data is transmitted for these macroblo...
Content based shape image retrieval is an important problem which gained the attention of the community. The challenge is to map the shape into compact and robust descriptor. This...
In a football stadium environment with multiple overhead floodlights, many protruding shadows can be observed originating from each of the targets. To successfully track individua...
A general framework for automatic 3D soccer ball estimation and tracking from multiple image sequences is proposed. Firstly, the ball trajectory is modelled as planarcurves in con...

The ability of a human to visually detect whether a packet has been lost during the transport of compressed video depends heavily on the location of the packet loss and the content...

We present a practical scheme for error-resilient digital video broadcasting, using the Wyner-Ziv coding paradigm. We apply the general framework of systematic lossy source-channe...
