Concentric mosaics have the ability to quickly capture a complete 3D view of a realistic environment and to enable a user to wander freely in the environment. However, the data am...
This paper introduces some preliminary results of the standardization process of ITU-T's H.26L project. This forthcoming video coding standard will not only significantly imp...
In this paper, we present an object-based coding scheme using three-dimensional shape-adaptive discrete wavelet transforms (SA-DWT). Rather than straightforward extension of 2D SA...
The concentric mosaics offer a quick solution to the construction and navigation of a virtual environment. To reduce the vast data amount of the concentric mosaics, a compression ...
In this paper, we survey the techniques for image-based rendering. Unlike traditional 3D computer graphics in which 3D geometry of the scene is known, image-based rendering techni...
A new down-conversion scheme in the DCT domain is presented, which can be used in decoders of DCT-compressed images and videos. The down-conversion in the transform domain general...
Subjective assessment methods have been used reliably for many years to evaluate video quality. They continue to provide the most reliable assessments compared to objective method...

In this paper, we present a technique for tracking video objects in a sequence. The proposed technique is based on a backward projection technique. Since classical backward techni...
