The emerging H.264 advanced video coding (H.264/AVC) standard achieves significant improvement in coding efficiency compared with previous standards such as MPEG-2 and H.263. On...
This paper proposes a method for key-frame selection of captured motion data. In many cases, it is desirable to obtain a compact representation of the human motion. Key-framing is...
A new framework for the context and speaker independent recognition of emotions from voice, based on a richer and more natural representation of the speech signal, is proposed. Th...
MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile video provides I, P, and B –type frames in each GOP (Group Of Pictures). To maximize the coding efficiency, it is important to determine the distr...
This paper presents a novel platform for image retrieval based on a two-level architecture inspired from human cognitive mechanisms. These two levels provide both generic similari...

Taking notes is frequently required in daily life. The rapid development of consumer devices provides new ways to achieve this goal such as taking notes by digital cameras, camcor...
In this paper, a microphone array with 3-D focal zone is proposed. The microphone array consists of one omni-directional and two uni-directional microphones. The microphone array ...

In this paper, we propose a hybrid architecture to integrate Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming approaches with content distribution networks (CDNs). We further utilize Multiple Descrip...
This paper describes an implementation of vertex weighting for real-time animation of 3D trees as a result of wind force and direction. This method improves over similar technique...
