To announce the ownership of video such as TV programs, the owner usually embeds his logo into the programs in a visible way. Since the logo and its position are usually fixed in...
In this paper, we propose an approach for TV commercial video classification by the categories of advertised products or services (e.g. automobiles, healthcare products, etc). Sin...
Group-to-individual (G2I) distributed meeting is an important but understudied area. Because of the asymmetry between different parties in G2I meetings, it has two unique challeng...

This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised speaker change detection. Three systems based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) are tested. The first system investigat...

— Compared with file-sharing and distributed hash table (DHT) network, P2P streaming is more vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks because of its high bandwidth demand a...
We present a novel video summarization and skimming technique using face detection on broadcast video programs. We take the faces in video as our primary target as they constitute...
Feature sets are broadly discussed within speech emotion recognition by acoustic analysis. While popular filter and wrapper based search help to retrieve relevant ones, we feel th...
We present a stream tapping protocol that involves clients in the video distribution process. As in conventional stream tapping, our protocol lets new clients tap the most recent ...
Transmissions over wireless and other unreliable networks can lead to packet loss. An area that has received limited research attention is how to tailor multimedia information tak...
In this work, we model speech samples with the generalized Gamma distribution and evaluate the efficiency of such modelling for voice activity detection. Using a computationally i...
