In a video coder, the optimal coding mode decision for each coding block could be achieved by exhaustively calculating the Lagrange cost (which includes the coding distortion plus...
In the current state-of-the-art in multimedia content analysis (MCA), the fundamental techniques are typically derived from core pattern recognition and computer vision algorithms...
Video streaming demands high data rates and hard delay constraints, and it raises several challenges on today’s packet-based and best-effort internet. In this paper, we propose ...
In this paper, we propose RAVITAS, a framework for realistic voice chat among multiple users in a virtual space reproducing the cocktail party effect. RAVITAS utilizes context-awa...
The software codec on mobile device introduces significant power consumption because the energy efficiency of general processor based system is much lower than that of the dedicat...

In video coding, certain limitations imposed by the environment, most typically the bit rate, need to be fulfilled. This is achieved by allowing the encoder to reduce the quality ...
The paper presents an MPEG-7 Multimedia Description Schemes (MDS)-based metadata and user profile model used within an enhanced DTV environment for semantic annotation and person...
Parametric watermarking is effected by modifying the linear predictor coefficients of speech. In this work, the parameter noise is analyzed when watermarked speech is subjected t...
In this paper, we present a method to retrieve natural images by sketch query. To measure the similarity between the sketch and an image, relevant regions are first located in th...
