Abstract--The Lagrangian formulation of variable-rate vector quantization is known to yield useful necessary conditions for quantizer optimality and generalized Lloyd algorithms fo...
Rate distortion optimization with Lagrangian formulation is widely used in video encoder control and has proved effective in achieving a good trade-off between coding efficiency a...
In recent years, the eld of active-contour based image segmentation have seen the emergence of two competing approaches. The rst and oldest approach represents active contours in ...
