A novel tandem-free solution for multiparty VoIP conferences called PASS (Peer-Aware Silence Suppression) is presented. Similar to traditional tandem-free solutions, PASS introduc...
We compare three Computer Vision approaches to 3-D reconstruction, namely passive Binocular Stereo and active Structured Lighting and Photometric Stereo, in application to human f...

In this paper, an efficient approach by combining the novel wavelet-based feature template, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier, and the wavelet entropy filtering is prese...
This paper presents a framework for efficiently streaming scalable video from multiple servers over heterogeneous network paths. We propose to use rateless codes, or Fountain cod...

This paper proposes an adaptive system for video news story tracking based on the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD). When an interesting story appears in the news, it is flagged man...
Low power hardware design for entropy coding of H.264/AVC baseline profile encoder is urgent for the increasing mobile applications. However, previous works are poor in the power...
The successful deployment of peer-to-peer (P2P) live video streaming systems has practically demonstrated that it can scale to reliably support a large population of peers. Howeve...
The Progressive Fine Granularity Scalable (PFGS) coding is a promising technique for streaming video applications. The macroblock-based PFGS coding proposes several INTER modes fo...
The study proposes a novel scheme to extract and recognize the caption contents of various sports captions. A caption extraction process based on an iteratively temporal averaging...
An overview of 3D and free viewpoint video is given in this paper with special focus on related standardization activities in MPEG. Free viewpoint video allows the user to freely ...
