EM algorithm is an important unsupervised clustering algorithm, but the algorithm has several limitations. In this paper, we propose a fast EM algorithm (FEMA) to address the limi...
An iterative model selection algorithm is proposed. The algorithm seeks relevant features and an optimal number of codewords (or codebook size) as part of the optimization. We use...
While many systems are available for audio-visual people collaboration and data collaboration, systems for collaboration on physical objects are few. In this paper, we present Web...
3D video, which consists of a sequence of 3D mesh models, can provide detailed 3D information both in spatial and temporal domain. In this paper, a key frame extraction method has...
Trip planning and in-vehicle navigation are crucial tasks for easier and safer driving. The existing navigation systems are based on machine intelligence without allowing human kn...
Recent research in image compression has focused on lossy compression algorithms. However, the baseline implementations of such algorithms generally use a universal quantization p...
Media distribution through application-layer overlay networks has received considerable attention recently, owing to its flexibility and readily deployable nature. On-demand stre...
Most broadcast stations rely on TV logos to claim video content ownership or visually distinguish the broadcast from the interrupting commercial block. Detecting and tracking a TV...
In this paper, we study the problem of the fast selection of video objects, as an aid for the efficient semi-automatic annotation of video programs. In a regular system, the user ...
