Interactive Internet Applications that rely on sequential streams for lossless data exchange often use retransmission protocols (e.g. TCP) for reliability and the guarantee of seq...
Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding and Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) are two commonly used techniques to tackle packet erasures in wireless video streaming. To preserve flexib...
In this paper we present a DCT domain watermarking approach for H.264/AVC video coding standard. This scheme is resilient to compressed-domain temporal adaptation. A cryptographic...
Near-duplicate video detection is becoming a core-technology for analyzing the structure of a large-scale video archive. It, however, is naturally an O(n2 ) problem, where n is a ...
The next-generation social communication medium, teleimmersion, is receiving increasing attention from both the research and industrial communities. It enables interaction between...
In this paper we suggest a conceptual architecture for music systems, designed to shift the control over a shared urban space to the users themselves, and also to encourage social...
Accurate and passive acquisition of dietary data from patients is essential for a better understanding of the etiology of obesity and development of effective weight management pr...
To improve the expressiveness of speech synthesis, the paper proposes a model to simulate the prosody features of exclamatory speech with modal tags. While compared with reading s...
We explore the problem of rapid automatic semantic tagging of video frames of unstructured (unedited) videos. We apply the Sort-Merge algorithm for feature selection on a large (&...
