This paper presents a new method named text to visual synthesis with appearance models (TEVISAM) for generating videorealistic talking heads. In a first step, the system learns a ...
Motion-compensated temporal wavelet decomposition is a useful framework for fully scalable video compression schemes. In this paper we propose a new approach to reduce the ghostin...
In this paper we demonstrate the use of an anisotropic PDE to improve the behavior of first and second derivatives of a distance function. We begin by deriving a property of these...
Abstract--An image can be seen as an element of a vector space so that it can be expressed in terms of a series expansion of any non necessarily orthogonal base of this space. This...
In this paper a head tracking algorithm using 3D data is described. The system relies on a novel 3D sensor that generates a dense range image of the scene. By not relying on brigh...
A novel and highly efficient algorithm of multiplicarionfree binary arithmetic coding is proposed. Our proposed method relies on simple table lookupsfor performing the computation...
