A visual query is based on pictorial representation of conceptual entities and operations. One of the most important features used in visual queries is the shape. Despite its intu...
Global Motion Estimation (GME) is an important part in the object-based applications. In this paper, a fast progressive model refinement (FPMR) GME algorithm is proposed. It can s...
It has been commonly recognized that multiple bit-rate (MBR) encoding provides a concise method for video streaming over bandwidth-fluctuant networks. The key problem of the MBR t...
Human factors related to stereoscopic motion images, such as visual stress, are introduced. Following a survey of studies on accommodation and convergence, difficulties in fusing ...
In this paper, we presented an image search service for mobile users. It can be used to acquire related information by taking and sending pictures to the server, for example, gett...
This paper proposes a music signal synthesis scheme that is based on sinusoid modeling and sliding-window ESPRIT. Despite widely used audio coding standards, effectively synthesiz...
In this paper we propose a rate-distortion optimized motion estimation algorithm that is built upon a quadtree structure. Each node of the quadtree represents a block in the curre...
A joint rate-distortion-complexity H.264 motion search framework is proposed to balance the encoder’s coding efficiency and complexity in an embedded system environment. Under ...
Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...
