Most image and video compression algorithms that have been proposed to improve picture quality relative to compression efficiency have either been designed based on objective crite...
With the rapid performance improvements in low-cost PCs, it becomes increasingly practical and cost-effective to implement large-scale video-on-demand (VoD) systems around parallel...
In this paper a hybrid fractal and Discrete Cosine transform (DCT) coder is developed. Drawing on the ability of DCT to remove inter-pixel redundancies and on the ability of fracta...
Abstract--The Internet provides a universal platform for largescale distribution of information and supports inter-organizational services, system integration, and collaboration. U...

This paper presents an object tracking method for object-based video processing which uses a two-dimensional (2-D) Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) and a 2-D golden section algorithm....
This paper presents a model for watermarking and some attacks on watermarks. Given the watermarked signal, the so-called Wiener attack performs minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) es...
Abstract-- We aim for content-based image retrieval of textured objects in natural scenes under varying illumination and viewing conditions. To achieve this, image retrieval is bas...
A comprehensive video retrieval system should be able to accommodate and utilize various (complementary) description data in facilitating effective retrieval. In this paper, we ad...
