We report an experiment with an acoustic surveillance system comprised of a computer and microphone situated in a typical office environment. The system continuously analyzes the...
In this paper, we present a joint multimodal (audio, visual and text) framework to map the informational complexity of the media elements to comprehension time. The problem is imp...
The paper presents a high-performance architecture of the bit-plane coder for the embedded block coding algorithm in JPEG 2000. The architecture adopts a pipeline structure and is...
In audio fingerprinting, an audio clip must be recognized by matching an extracted fingerprint to a database of previously computed fingerprints. The fingerprints should reduc...
The wireless channel is time-varying where burst packet losses often occur during the fading or lossy handovers. In order to avoid unaccepted quality degradation of video streamin...
Extracting the melody from polyphonic musical audio is a nontrivial research problem. This paper presents an approach for vocal melody extraction from dual channel Karaoke music a...
