The 3D tele-immersive (3DTI) environments are emerging as the next generation technique for tele-communication. In this paper, we present a novel and generic interface for view co...
This paper presents a novel approach to automatically identify characters in films using audio visual cues and text analysis. The approach consists of three stages: (i) frontal f...
To exploit co-occurrence patterns among features and target semantics while keeping the simplicity of the keywordbased visual search, a novel reranking methods is proposed. The ap...
In this paper, by considering the multiple spatial-temporal characteristic of visual perception system, we propose a novel home video attention analysis method. Firstly, each fram...
Conventional frequency-domain speech enhancement filters improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but also produce speech distortions. This paper describes a novel post-processing al...
Due to the rapidly increasing availability of audio files on the Web, it is relevant to augment search engines with advanced audio search functionality. In this context, the rank...

This paper describes a human machine interaction application for building panoramic views easily and efficiently. The panoramas are not limited to the 1D problem (one axis of rot...
We propose a system that is capable of improving intelligibility of speech by those with hearing impairment. We have found the speech often had problems in the intonation, the dur...
