Estimating the quality of face localization for face verification
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...

Gap closure in (road) networks using higher-order active contours
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 ...

Video encoder complexity reduction by estimating skip mode distortion
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...

Evaluation of shadow classification techniques for object detection and tracking
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...

Visibility of individual packet losses in MPEG-2 video
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...

Systematic lossy forward error protection for error-resilient digital video broadcasting -a wyner-ziv coding approach
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...
