Story clustering is a critical step for news retrieval, topic mining, and summarization. Nonetheless, the task remains highly challenging owing to the fact that news topics exhibit...
A method that exploits an information theoretic framework to extract optimized audio features using video information is presented. A simple measure of mutual information (MI) betw...
In this paper, we propose an approach to learning appearance models of moving objects directly from compressed video. The appearance of a moving object changes dynamically in vide...
Abstract--Traditional video servers partially cope with heterogeneous client populations by maintaining a few versions of the same stream with different bit rates. More recent vide...
Abstract--The 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) consumes up to 68% of the JPEG2000 encoding time. In this paper, we develop efficient implementations of this important kernel on...
